Tell Only Lies Lyrics by The Roosevelts

The Greatest Thing You’ll Ever Learn

2016

[Verse 1]
There’s a mermaid tattoo on the back of her neck
And when I see it I want to do things I’ll regret
As she pulls me in I feel the warmth of skin
I bit the apple from the tree. I would say no but I can’t breathe
[Chorus]
It’s just lust between us baby please put away those eyes
I know love and this is none of the above I wish you wouldn’t try
[Verse 2]
The alcohol in my glass has been taking its toll
The virtues of a good man aren’t so easy to hold
How did we get so close you’ve always been so far, away
Now all I hear are these whispers in my ear that I should stay
But it’s just lust between us baby please put away those eyes
I know love and this is none of the above I wish you wouldn’t try
What’s the point just pass the joint and let’s say our goodbyes
But as you’re leaving those secrets you’re keeping well please don’t tell no one
Please just tell only… Lies
[Chorus]
It’s just lust between us baby please put away those eyes
I know love and this is none of the above I wish you wouldn’t try
