Mariah Carey
Innocent Lies
[Verse 1]
There is a little place inside my head
Where I put every single word unsaid
Before they could crawl out and touch your ears
I should lie
They all say that the truth's the only answer
But it can break your heart and leave you bitter
Some things are maybe better kept as secrets
I should lie
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, won't kiss and tell
I promise that there's nothing wrong
Believe me when I say to you
[Chorus]
It's just an innocent lie
A pure and innocent lie
It's just to avoid a broken heart
It's just an innocent lie
A pure and innocent lie
It's just to avoid a broken heart
[Verse 2]
You, just like any boy, you can play your heart
I can see your every move from the start
I, just like any girl, I play with your mind
I can lie
You know I cannot hide my feelings for you
And I can't deny what I say or do
It's just a silly way of self-protection
That I lie
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, but I mean well
I promise that there's nothing wrong
And I will make it up to you
[Chorus]
It's just an innocent lie
A pure and innocent lie
It's just to avoid a broken heart
It's just an innocent lie
A pure and innocent lie
It's just to avoid a broken heart
