Aw, you come on strong
with a great big smile,
but your teeth are as sharp
as a crocodile.
You promised me the moon
and the stars and the sun,
but you never did nothin' for anyone.
Can't look me in the face
or straight in the eye,
I'd buy the movie rights to your alibi.
I wonder how low you would go,
I wonder how high
your head would blow.
You're a psychopathic liar,
your soul is on fire
You're bluffin' with nothin'
while the stakes are gettin' higher.
Why trust you?
You never made a dream come true.
Why trust you?
Give me one good reason,
one good reason why.
Well, you come to me
all teary-eyed
with your big, tall tale
way up in the sky,
beggin' on your knees
for another chance,
but everybody knows
that's a song and a dance.
Yeah, there used to be a time
when you were the best.
You had the fastest tongue
in the west.
You gave a look and a line
like nobody else.
You'd try to sell the Bible
to the devil himself.
You sadistic little liar,
you're walkin' on a wire.
You're bluffin' up with nothin'
and the bills are gettin' higher.
Why trust you?
You never made a dream come true.
Why trust you?
Give me one good reason,
one good reason.
Why trust you?
The noose is getting tighter,
your face is turning whiter.
You can stuff it up your muffin
and go stick it in the fire.
(Why trust you?)
Why trust you?
(You never made a dream come true )
You never, never,
made a dream come true.
(Why trust you?)
(Give me one good reason)
(One good reason)
You stinkin' little liar,
baby, you should set your pants on fire.
(Why trust you?)
(You never made a dream come true )
You never spit out what you mean.
(Why trust you?)
Come clean.
You're acting like an addict
with a holy, holy automatic.
Why trust you?
(Why trust you?)
I'm through.
(Why trust you?)
I'm gone
(Why trust you?)
into the next song.
Why trust you?
