No one taught me how to lie
I was a talented child
Imagination found words
And my stories went wild
I just did it for laughs
Did it for fun
Did it ’cause I liked to fool everyone
Not that anyone believed me
They just seemed to understand
That all the times I spent alone inside my head
Lies were all I had
No one taught me how to lie
I just did it with ease
Did it out of principle
Did it with tease
Made me feel so worthwhile
Made me feel ten feet tall
Made me feel I could be or do anything at all
“Just a nervous disorder”
The doctor said as he marched out the door
As I put on my poor and frightened child
And I counted them all once more
And here I am with you
Thrown so many lies your way
I believe most of them too
You say you love me
Girl you’ve been looking at a stranger
If this hurts you
Somehow it hurts me more
I never knew what honesty was for
Until the moment that you look at me
You say you wanna be a part of me
Girl whatever’s left of me is yours
All the kids would laugh at me
I wouldn’t talk for fear I’d cry
Nobody, nobody taught me how to lie
I never showed hostility
I kept it all inside
Nobody, nobody taught me how to lie
Nobody taught me how to lie
