Lyrics
 | I write these stupid words The lyrics for this song are incomplete or missing. Can you help us fill them in? If so, we encourage you to make a move! |
Lies, lies!
Turn your back on me again
Do you trust me, my friend?
So I see that you lie
I won't believe you this time
We stand before the public's eyes
Telling all those stupid lies
What have I done to you
Who believes your stories?
'Cause they're not true
Tongue of fire
Telling all those lies and ???
You can't feel
Tongue of fire
Walk through the flame
And have you no shame?
You can't feel
I see you're back in town
You'll always be around
You should have stayed away
You left me by myself
Go bother someone else
Now there's a price you gotta pay
Tongue of fire
Telling all those lies and ???
You can't feel
Tongue of fire
Walk through the flame
And have you no shame?
You can't feel
Played with fire
Believe the liar
Took my heart
???
???
Taking advantage of sin
Looking for some sort of easy ???
Looking out from deep within
Shame on me ???
???
Cryin' out for mercy
You haven't seen anything yet
You can't feel
Lies, lies!
I see you're back in town
You'll always be around
You should have stayed away
You left me by myself
Go bother someone else
Now there's a price you gotta pay
