Why do you lie?
So to wrap it up in Bahrain I needed a standard 'old-style' rock'n'roll number and turned to a lyric I'd half-started in 1975 and nearly completed for one of the archive CDs. OK, in the end in turned out more like a Johnny Halliday number...

Why do you lie?
Why do you lie
D
I give you money I do all I can
Why do you lie
G
You take it all but you don’t give a thing
A D A7
Why do you lie? Tell me why do you lie?
I had your phone put in I pay the bill
But it rings you say it’s just my good friend Jill
So why do those calls give you such a thrill
Why do you lie?
Break
We went out with your friends the other day
They kept on calling me paul
It makes me think that when this cat’s away
Some mouse is having a ball
I gave up everything I had for you
Seems I’ve just pride left till you take that too
They’ll be nothing left when you are through
Why do you lie?
Too many times you’ve left me on my own
Your sly behaviour I just can’t condone
Why do you lie? Tell me why do you lie?
