Running Out of Lies

I'm tired of lying

Peeping and hiding

In low class places

Oh, I'm so tired, baby

I'm tired of worrying

Whenever I come home late

With your lipstick traces

Oh yes I am, babe

You can rest assured, my woman's no fool

She can tell I been loving you

Stealing your love is getting harder and harder

The excuses I been giving, just won't hold water

I'm running out of lies

(Lies, lies, lies)

Getting hard to think of an alibi

Running out of lies

(Lies, lies, lies)

Getting hard to think of an alibi

Please say goodbye

I've got too many alibis

Oh, yes I do

I'm spreading myself, I'm spreading myself a little too thin

Tryna do the job of too many men

You can rest assured, my woman's no fool

She can tell just as good, I been loving you

Stealing your love is getting harder and harder

The excuse I been giving, it won't hold water

I'm running out of lies

(Lies, lies, lies)

Getting hard to think of an alibi

Running out of lies, lies

(Lies, lies, lies)

Getting hard to think of an alibi

No, my woman ain't no fool, y'all

She can tell, just as good when I been out with somebody else

You know a lot of times

I don't wanna talk about it

And I try, I try to get it off of my mind

But then my conscience, you know everybody got a conscience

My conscience get to bothering me

And when I try to go to sleep at night

Seem like to me I can hear my conscience say, Johnnie

You oughta be ashamed of yourself

You know you got a good woman

And you ought to treat her right

And uh, I made a deal with my conscience

If my conscience didn't bother me

That I sure wouldn't bother my conscience

But every now and then it comes around to me and telling me

Johnnie, you know you been wrong, yes you have

A lot of fellas out there been wrong

You ought to go to your babe and tell her, honey

Oh, I'm sorry baby

For taking you through all of these changes

I'm sorry, baby

I'm sorry that I did you wrong

I'm sorry that I broke your heart, baby

And it seem like to me, I'm running out of lies, lies

(Lies, lies, lies)

It's getting hard to think of an alibi

Lies, lies

(Lies, lies, lies)

Can't take no more

I'm running out of lies, lies

(Lies, lies, lies)
