Lie To Me
Whispers of Deception: Charley Pride's Soulful Plea for Illusory Love
Lyrics
Oh, lie to me, say you love me
Desire for false affirmation of love; requesting the partner to pretend to love.
Tell me I mean the world to you
Seeking assurance that the speaker holds a significant place in the partner's life.
It would mean so much, I'd be so happy
Expressing the importance of the affirmation and the happiness it would bring.
And it's the least you can do
Stating that pretending to love is the minimum the partner can do.
Though I know you love another
Acknowledging the partner's true love for someone else.
And for him your heart it's true
Affirming the sincerity of the partner's feelings for another person.
And I know that you can't help it
Understanding that the partner can't control their emotions.
But there's one thing you can do
Pointing out that there is one thing the partner can do despite their true feelings.
Oh, lie to me, say you love me
Repeating the request for the partner to falsely claim love.
Tell me I mean the world to you
Reiterating the desire for the partner to affirm the speaker's significance.
It would mean so much, I'd be so happy
Emphasizing the happiness that the false affirmation would bring.
And it's the least you can do
Reemphasizing that pretending to love is the least the partner can do.
Yes, I know you really love him
Acknowledging the partner's genuine love for someone else.
But as far as I can see
Expressing the speaker's understanding of the partner's true feelings.
You should know that you can't have him
Noting that the partner can't have the person they truly love.
So you just could lie to me
Suggesting that the partner can find solace in pretending to love the speaker.
Oh, lie to me, say you love me
Repeating the request for false affirmation of love.
Tell me I mean the world to you
Reiterating the importance of being told that the speaker means the world to the partner.
It would mean so much, I'd be so happy
Emphasizing the happiness derived from the false affirmation.
And it's the least you can do
Stating again that pretending to love is the least the partner can do.
Oh, lie to me, say you love me
Repeating the plea for the partner to lie about their love.
Tell me I mean the world to you
Reiterating the desire for the partner to affirm the speaker's significance.
It would mean so much, I'd be so happy
Emphasizing the happiness that the false affirmation would bring.
And it's the least you can do
Concluding that pretending to love is the least the partner can do.
