Why Do I Lie? - Luscious Jackson

i would love to be better
i would love to be free
i would love to be perfect
when you look at me
but instead i'm still crying
yes instead i'm still lying
sad to say i'm still trying
not to be me
when i see all the weakness
that i turned into sickness
i still think i can slide
just fine on the ice
it's not easy to be honest
sometimes i'm just astonished
how hard it can be to be true

[CHORUS:]
why do i lie?
is it just to get by
if i give up my lines
will i die?
if fortunes are favored
then i am in labor
and i'm trying so hard
to leave lying behind

i don't want to be hazy
i don't think that i'm crazy
but i've had some moments
where i am not sure
and if you can forgive me
for just being human
then i will try harder
to keep my words pure

i could be on the border
it could be a disorder
honestly i think
that i can come clean
and all of my stories might even be boring
if i can tell you
what they all mean

[CHORUS]

naked eye was popular but there like a one hit wonder and this song is typical and boring.

@royalnaz1 Luscious Jackson is far from a one hit wonder, they were pretty popular in the 90's and have a cult following. What you would consider boring many others would consider good song writing. Good bands write good songs, you dont need to overcomplexify things to write something that moves people.. The Beatles or Bob Dylan for instance.

I shouldn't even give you any attention because its obvious from your page & your comments on there that you regularly go around youtube trolling videos.

@royalnaz1 Seriously - are you 9 years old? You think Luscious Jackson was a one-hit wonder, and that this is typical and boring?

God f*cking d*mn, people like you are ASTOUNDINGLY depressing in your utter simple-minded idiocy.
