i could lie

by antwan fields - Aries

when you ask me about the rest of my money
i consider ignorance

when you ask me where i was
i pretend deafness

when you ask me where i was again 
i don't answer

and when you get angry 
i do the one thing i try not to do
i lie

tell me about your other lover
you yell at me

tell me about what you did with them
i know you cheat

no i don't, i answer
trying to keep the lie straight

it doesn't work 
and im faced with your anger

i know what you do, you scream
you go to those goddamn orgies
and fuck around

i keep lying 
no i don't 
now i could lie

but i don't 

than where's the rest of your money going, you scream
i sigh
look, i don't know what you're talking about!

im not spending money 
im not cheating
im not doing anything wrong

there. you accomplished your goal
i lied
