[Verse 1]
People gonna talk
But you can talk to me about it (mm)
You don't know who you are
No, not like the way I know ya

[Pre-Chorus]
We would rather trade a good word from a good friend for a white lie
From people we don’t even like
When they pretend that they mean it, darlin'

[Chorus]
Don't believe a word that they say
Say, hmm
’Cause people don't mean it anyway
Way, anyway
Don't believe— don't-don't believe
Don't believe— don't-don't beliеve

[Verse 2]
I know your heart’s been achin’
But darlin' mine’s yours for thе takin'
I know it's hard to say it
But your eyes tell me everything I need to know
Don't let them into your head
I hate to see you face turn red
When your tears turn to a waterfall
You can fall in my arms and I’ll catch them all
[Pre-Chorus]
We would rather trade a good word from a good friend for a white lie
From people we don't even like
When they pretend that they mean it, darlin'

[Chorus]
Don't believe a word that they say
Say, hmm
'Cause people don't mean it anyway
Way, anyway
Don't believe— don't-don't believe
