Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you cannot toss your heart gaily in the ring
Love me while the moment lingers
If you cannot cross your heart that I'm everything
Try at least to cross your fingers
[Verse 2]
Talk to me baby
Tell me lies
Tell me lies
As sweet as apple pie
[Verse 3]
Whisper, you tremble
With a wild desire
To light the fire
In my eyes
[Verse 4]
Tell me I'm marvelous
Exaggerate
Prevaricate
If you must, just
[Verse 5]
Talk to me baby
Soft and low
Then if you decide
It's really so
[Verse 6]
Swear you'll be mine forever
Otherwise, just
Talk to me and tell me
Lies, lies, lies, lies
[Verse 7]
Great big
Great big lies
Written by: Johnny Mercer, Robert E. Dolan
