Deceit and lies

I've gotta wheel of hurt

A millstone of pain

That keeps right-on

Turning right-on turning

Right-on turning in on me

Tears in my eyes

Just when I hoped to realize!

You can't love deceit and lies (Chorus)

Deceit and lies

You can't love deceit and lies

Oh if I could count the tears

I've been holding back

The years I've dammed-up

The heart ache that just keeps-on

Flooding back

I've been holding out on all these lonely years

Then you'd know just how I've loved you

Oh baby don't go, don't go...

No matter the pain!

The hurt will always hurt again!

And again, and again!

You can't love deceit and lies (Chorus)

Deceit and lies

You can't love deceit and lies

Oh baby don't close your eyes

When I'm the one who's hurting

And set that big wheel of pain

Hurtling, turning in on my heart again...

Oh I've gotta wheel of hurt

And love it keeps right-on turning

Turning in on me

Tears in my eyes

And all my hope!

Once more despised

Once more jeopardized

In vain!

You can't love deceit and lies (Chorus)

I can't love your deceit and lies

Deceit and lies

You can't love deceit and lies

I can't love deceit and lies

Not even if they sometimes happen

To be good little white lies..?
