I Will Not Lie For You
I will not lie, I will not lie. I will not lie, I will not lie for you.
Every time I see you fooling around on him,
I can't help but remember that he calls me his friend.
It's only right for me to tell you when it's the wrong thing to do.
It's only right that you should know-
if he comes to me, I will not lie for you, no, I won't lie for you.
It's hard enough to see him stumbling blind,
I refuse to see him lose you and me at the same time.
It's only right for me to tell you when it's the wrong thing to do.
It's only right that you should know-
if he comes to me, I will not lie for you, no, I won't lie for you.
To come here as your friend and have you come on like my lover,
like to bring things to an end between myself and my brother.
If it was any other man I would not interfere
But if you come on to me again, I don't see how to stand clear.
It's only right for me to tell you when it's the wrong thing to do.
It's only right that you should know-
if he asks me, I will not lie for you, mama, I won't lie for you.
If it was any other man I would not interfere
But if you come on to me again, I don't see how to stand clear.
It's only right for me to tell you when it's the wrong thing to do.
It's only right that you should know-
If he asks me, I will not lie, I will not lie, I will not lie, I will not lie for you.
No, I won't lie for you, little girl, I won't lie for you.
No, I won't lie to him for you, I will not lie for you.
No voy a mentir por ti
No mentiré, no mentiré. No mentiré, no mentiré por ti
Cada vez que te veo engañando a él
No puedo evitar recordar que me llama su amigo
Es justo para mí decirte cuándo es lo incorrecto
Es justo que sepas
Si viene a mí, no mentiré por ti, no, no mentiré por ti
Ya es bastante difícil verlo tropezando a ciega
Me niego a verlo perdernos a ti y a mí al mismo tiempo
Es justo para mí decirte cuándo es lo incorrecto
Es justo que sepas
Si viene a mí, no mentiré por ti, no, no mentiré por ti
Para venir aquí como tu amigo y hacer que vengas como mi amante
como poner fin a las cosas entre mi hermano y yo
Si fuera cualquier otro hombre no interferiría
Pero si vuelves a verme, no veo cómo mantenerme alejado
Es justo para mí decirte cuándo es lo incorrecto
Es justo que sepas
Si me pregunta, no mentiré por ti, mamá, no mentiré por ti
Si fuera cualquier otro hombre no interferiría
Pero si vuelves a verme, no veo cómo mantenerme alejado
Es justo para mí decirte cuándo es lo incorrecto
Es justo que sepas
Si él me pregunta, no mentiré, no mentiré, no mentiré, no mentiré por ti
No, no mentiré por ti, niñita, no mentiré por ti
No, no le mentiré por ti, no mentiré por ti
