Fountains of Wayne
Some Girls Tell Lies
She greets her customers with a face still full of tears
This move her man would say is crass
The distance between us grown by oh so many years
Now that this time of year is past
Sometimes he wanders on the trail of someone's perfume
Until he falls around their knees
Seems like an hour from the taxi to the bedroom
That's just what a young girl needs
(Some girls)
But it's not like me to criticize
(Some girls)
Be like them but they despise
(Some girls)
But look real hard now behind their eyes
Some girls tell lies
Then bat their eyelashes and nod "how'd you do?"
Where upon he quips "I've done a few"
Wave after wave of pretty girls in high-heeled shoes
Couldn't have been no more than one or two
You and me girl on this [?] fancy
We never say a word we mean
But he's so busy trying to get inside her pants
He can't tell the difference between
(Some girls)
But it's not like me to criticize
(Some girls)
Be like them but they despise
(Some girls)
But look real hard now behind their eyes
Some girls tell lies
A thousand shareholders and their young and [?]
Are throwing some [?] in your face
Damn if you do so you don't
And you wonder why you can't replace
Some girls...
[Instrumental Break / Guitar Solo]
And all this chitter chats nothing but [?] fancy
We never say a word we mean
But he's so busy trying to get inside her pants
He can't tell the difference between
(Some girls)
But it's not like me to criticize
(Some girls)
Be like them but they despise
(Some girls)
But look real hard, now, behind their eyes
Some girls tell lies
(Some girls)
But it's not like me to criticize
(Some girls)
Be like them but they despise
(Some girls)
But look real hard, now, behind their eyes
Some girls tell lies
