Songtext That was a lie Joan Osborne

That was a lie

She comes clacking in her high heel shoes (oh, whoa-whoa)
They got that bucket so she's serving up the news (oh, whoa-whoa)

This is how you know you finally earned your place
When there ain't no difference between a mask and your face

That was a lie
That was a lie
The thing that you told me
Oh, that was a lie

If every day it gets a little bit worse (oh, whoa-whoa)
Well, he's just a wallet and she's just a purse (oh, whoa-whoa)

You can't repeat until you got that very last dime
Oh, but that ain't enough to pay the man on time

That was a lie
That was a lie
The thing that you told me
Honey, that was a lie
That was a lie
That was a lie
The thing that you told me
Oh, that was a lie
Oh, my

If only love could say they'd never understand
Then you touch him again with your hard-hearted hand

That was a lie
That was a lie
The thing that you told me
Honey, that was a lie
That was a lie
That was a lie
The thing that you told me
Honey, that was a lie, yeah

The thing that you told
Honey, that was a lie
The thing that you told
Honey, that was a lie
The thing that you told
Honey, that was a lie
