Telling Me Lies Lyrics
They say a woman's a fool for weeping
A fool to break her own heart
But I can't hold the secret I'm keeping
I'm breaking apart
Cant seem to mind my own business
Whatever I try turns out wrong
I seem like own false witness
And I can't go on
I cover my ears, I close my eyes
I still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
Telling me lies
You told me you needed my company
And I believed in your flattering ways
You told me you needed me forever
Nearly gave you the rest of my days
I should have seen you for what you are
Should never have come back for more
Should have locked up all my silver
Brought the key right to your door
I cover my ears, I close my eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
Telling me lies
You don't know what a chance is
Until you have to seize one
You don't know what a man is
Until you have to please one
Don't put your life in the hands of a man
With a face for every season
Don't waste your time in the arms of a man
Who is no stranger to treason
I cover my ears, I close my eyes
I still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
Telling me lies
I still your voice telling me lies
Telling me lies
A fool to break her own heart
But I can't hold the secret I'm keeping
I'm breaking apart
Cant seem to mind my own business
Whatever I try turns out wrong
I seem like own false witness
And I can't go on
I still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
Telling me lies
And I believed in your flattering ways
You told me you needed me forever
Nearly gave you the rest of my days
I should have seen you for what you are
Should never have come back for more
Should have locked up all my silver
Brought the key right to your door
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
Telling me lies
Until you have to seize one
You don't know what a man is
Until you have to please one
Don't put your life in the hands of a man
With a face for every season
Don't waste your time in the arms of a man
Who is no stranger to treason
I still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
Telling me lies
I still your voice telling me lies
Telling me lies

A heartbreaking song about her break up/divorce with Richard Thompson. As a fan of both artists (together and solo) I find this song even more crippling as it paints such brutal picture of a man we admire. But Linda tells the story with such painful honesty that we cant help but side with her.
