lyrics

LIPS THAT LIED
WORDS AND MUSIC BY M. SCOTT NIELSEN ©1998
V1
There’s no fool like an old fool
They say old fools are blind
The thought you would deceive me
Never crossed my mind

I trusted you completely
There was only lovelight in your eyes
So I guess I’ll never understand
How your lips could tell those lies

Chorus:
The lie was on your lips
My heart was in my throat
I was holdin’ back my tears
I knew that’s all she wrote
But I pretended to believe you
while I swallowed down my pride
I even smiled and said, “I love you”
Then I kissed the lips that lied

V2
That night as you lay sleeping
I packed some things and I slipped away
No note, no explanation
There was nothin’ I could say

I put some miles behind me
Lord, it felt good just to ride
Running from my broken pride
And from the lips that lied

Bridge
I been around a while and I’ve heard all the alibis
I’ve tasted love and salty tears
Now I’ve tasted lies
Repeat Chorus

about

Scott Nielsen Bordentown, New Jersey

"I'm a 50's rocker and never was told how to grow up and when to grow old . . ." to quote one of my tunes and it sums me up pretty well. I have been writing songs since the early 60's. In the 70's I wrote children's songs for Captain Kangaroo. I have been a writer and publisher ASCAP member since 1973.

I write across several genres: country, rock and adult alternative. ... more
