Now, let's talk it over, baby, 'fore we start

So, don't you lie to me, don't you lie to me, baby
'Cause it makes me mad and I get as evil as a man can be

And that's a lyin' woman and a sneakin' man

But, please don't let me catch you get down low

Say, I'll be with you 'til the cows come home
Don't let me catch you, baby, gettin' down low
Don't you lie to me, no, don't lie to me
'Cause it makes me mad and I get as evil as a man can be

Hey, baby, here's a proposition I'll give to you
I'll give you all my lovin' if you give me yours too
Don't you lie to me, baby, don't you lie to me
You see, it makes me mad and I get as evil as a man can be

Now, don't you lie to me, don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me, baby, ya

And I get as evil as a man can be

I think, I'm gonna tell you again
