You're Lying!


Unlike the one immediately below the lyrics, the above cover of 'You're Lying', created in May/June 2026, stays true to the vocal melody and chord structure of the original 1976 version.

"Honey, I see the way the wind is blowing,
I can't help but wonder just where our love is going.
We've been together a good long time.
I know your little ways and you know mine,
And I can tell when you're holding something back,
You're way out somewhere on a different tack!

You want me to think it's all in my mind,
You're not the sly and cheating kind.
But when you get home late, well, I'm not to worry
But you can't stop now 'cos you're in a hurry.
Well, what kind of a fool do you take me for?
I don't believe you - Any more...

You’re lying!
You’re lying!
You’re lying!
To me!

Out playing your games right round the clock,
You made my name a laughing stock.
I’m just the fool who pays the bills,
While someone else provides the thrills,
Love had me blind to your wicked way,
But I’m wiser now and now you’re gonna pay!

You’re lying!
You’re lying!
You’re lying!
To me!

Bitterness is all I feel,
I can’t tell what’s right, but I know what’s real.
No truth, no guidance from above,
Not one helping hand, no love.
There’ll be no justice here!
I’m gonna put that right, tonight...

All good things come to their end.
Goodbye my fair-weather friend.
Much better that we part this way,
Than let it go another day.
You may protest your innocence,
I’d like to believe you but I,
Can’t take the chance.

You’re lying!
You’re lying!
You’re lying!
To me!

You’re lying!
You’re lying!
You’re lying!
To me!

You’re lying!
You’re lying!
You’re lying!
To me!"

The above is the 2024 version.

SUNO was responsible for the vocal melody and chord structure. The 'feel was suggested by yours truly.
 
The version below is the original, which was recorded in 1979.




The audio of this version of 'You're Lying' was recorded in 1990 and spruced up a little in 2019. 

The video was inspired by Theresa May's Brexit performance. Or should I say, non-performance.
