[Verse 1]
There's no need to lie without me half-trying, I could love you
It shows in your eyes that you feel the same way I do
But wherever I go, my conscience goes, what more can I say?
It's only desire, not yet a fire, let's keep it that way

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't want to have to tell him a lie when I get back home
'Cause it would tear apart his fairy tale world if I did him wrong
And lying to him would hurt me more than leaving you this way
So before we forget, we're not cheaters yet, let's keep it that way

[Verse 2]
Let's finish this wine, 'cause I'm not thinking too clearly tonight
And the touch of your hand makes it so hard for me to tell wrong from right
He waits at home and he's there alone and though I'd like to stay
Before I give in, let's call it just friends and keep it that way

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't want to have to tell him a lie when I get back home
'Cause it would tear apart his fairy tale world if I did him wrong
And lying to him would hurt me more than leaving you this way
So before we forget, we're not cheaters yet, let's keep it that way
'Cause I don't want to have to tell him a lie when I get back home
'Cause it would tear apart his fairy tale world if I did him wrong
