I danced in the desert in the pouring rain Drank with the devil and forgot my name Woke with somebody when the morning came No one there to shame me for my youth Cause I wouldn't be with you And then I found me a lover who could play the bass He's kinda quiet but his body ain't Spent the days dreaming and the nights awake Doing things we know we shouldn't do Cause I wouldn't be with you Says he can't believe he found me Wraps his arms around me I can't let him in You call me up and ask me how I've been So call your bluff and keep on tellin' tellin' tellin' you lies Keep on tellin' tellin' tellin' you lies But I can't let him in You play me rough but I won't let you win So call your bluff and keep on tellin' tellin' tellin' you lies Keep on tellin' tellin' tellin' you lies Count down to the day they may come true And I fell for a vagabond a month at tops Lied and said his bike was in the motor shop Drove my car once and made the tire pop Still we had some fun till I came to Cause I wouldn't be with you On the 4th of July I met a man, Pierre Lied about his age but I didn't care Spoke in broken English but the heart was there In those eyes of sky and ocean blue Cause I wouldn't be with you Says he can't believe he found me Wraps his arms around me I can't let him in You call me up and ask me how I've been I'll call your bluff and keep on tellin' tellin' tellin' you lies Keep on tellin' tellin' tellin' you lies But I can't let him in You play me rough but I won't let you win So call my bluff and keep on tellin' tellin' tellin' you lies Keep on tellin' tellin' tellin' you lies I won't count down to the day they may come true I'm counting down But I'm still so alive I'll come around
