Lie To Me Lyrics

I saw you looking brand new overnight
And I caught you looking too, but you didn't look twice
You look happy, oh
You look happy, oh

Flashing back to New York City
Changing flights so you stay with me
Remember thinking that I got this right

Now I wish we never met
'Cause you're too hard to forget
While I'm cleaning up your mess
I know he's taking off your dress
And I know that you don’t, but if I ask you if you love me
I hope you lie, lie, lie, lie to me

It's 3 AM and the moonlight’s testing me (ah)
If I can make it 'til dawn, then it won’t be hard to see (ah)
I ain’t happy, oh
I ain't too happy, oh

Flashing back to New York City
Change your flight so you stay with me
Problem was, I thought I had this right

Now I wish we never met
'Cause you're too hard to forget
While I’m cleaning up your mess
I know he’s taking off your dress
I know that you don’t, but if I ask you if you love me
I hope you lie, lie, lie, lie, lie to me
Singing, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Li-li-lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Li-li-lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
And I know that you don’t, but if I ask you if you love me
I hope you lie, lie, lie, lie, lie to me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

To mean, this song is almost the same as Metro Boomin's Creepin'. The subject knows that his partner is getting freaky with someone else, but he doesn't want to say anything because he thinks it will make him feel immature or weak. He also doesn't want to know the truth and let go of her, so that's why he basically says, "If I ask you if you love me, I hope you lie to me."
