Lyrics Joseph Arthur

Joseph Arthur

Love Never Asks You to Lie

November twelfth and it is a nice night to pretend

That nothing will come at me like you did again

I could see it in your eyes and felt it in your touch

That you were as close to the truth as anything ever was

Heard you cry

Love never asks you to lie

Take off your evil disguise

I can see clear through your eyes

Western Union, Cadillacs, bankers and ice cream

Breaking windows, singing spirituals, ring like memories

At the graduation ceremony, setting our sights free

There is never gonna be another you and me

Heard you cry

Love never asks you to lie

Take off your evil disguise

I can see clear through your eyes

And they say it's going to shoot you

Shoot you down

When you walk around the corner

Of this ghost town

You know they say it's going to shoot you

Shoot you down

Heard you cry

Love never asks you to lie

Take off your evil disguise

I can see clear through your eyes
