Lyrics: "I love to lie" | 1960s rockabilly/soul 45 | male vocalist | I only have this recording
Heard this on a Keb Darge DJ mix (deep funk/soul 45 specialist). The track sounds like a late 50s/early 60s rockabilly or early soul record: male singer, upbeat, brass.
Chorus includes: "I just love to lie!"
Audio clip attached. Music recognition tools haven't been able to identify it, likely an obscure regional pressing that never made it to digital databases.
lyrics (transcribed):
Verse 1 Well my baby's mad, mad, mad, mad, mad at me / Acting real sore / Even packed her bags last night, slammed and broke the door / Cause I lied! Yeah, I lied! / Well that's right, that's right, she caught me lying / And I left her crying
Chorus Well I said I'd get you fancy clothes, oh lots of pretty things / Fly around the world, baby, man of your dreams / But I lied! Yeah, I lied! / Oh why, oh why do I keep on lying? / I just love to lie!
Verse 2 Well there ain't that much money / Ain't got a fleet of cars / Ain't no big fancy house / No movie stars / Well it's a crying shame, pretty baby, what you mean to me
Outro Things ain't looking good, things ain't looking good / Things ain't working out the way I planned and hoped they would / Cause I lied! Yeah, I lied! / That's right, that's right, I keep on lying... / Cause I love to lie! I just love to lie!
