Hey Shemekia
I hear you got yourself a new man
Yeah, Ruth i do
Well you don't sound too happy
Well, i think he's been lying to me
If he's a man, you can be sure he's lying
But come on tell Ruth the truth
My mama said, don't trust man
Don't believe what they say (your mama was right)
But I've found out for myself
Found out the hard way
A man will say anything to get close to you
Then you find out later
Every word is untrue
If you want an honest man
Hear's a little tip
You can tell your man is lying
If he moves his lips
Oh yeah, if he moves his lips
Oh they can put their hands on the bible
And they can stare you right in the eye (that's what it is)
Then they say, "oh you can trust me, babe"
You know I never lie
Swear that love up and down
Even cross their heart
Girl don't believe them
If you've got any smart
Next thing you know
You be given in to sleep
Girl you can tell your man is lying
If you see him move his lips
If he moves his lips
They lie, say they love you (yeah they do)
They lie, say they care (lying thou)
But when you try to find them
You know they'll never love
♪
Now when it comes to women
Every man's a poet (oh yes, honey)
(You give you his best)
(But he's gone before you know it)
You won't believe the lies that I've been feed
That why I started keeping a lot of tech about my man (yeah girl)
The thing about me now, I give them out to zip (alright)
You can tell your man is lying
(If he moves his lips)
Oh yeah, (if he moves his lips)
You know, I trusted that man
(Yeah that's what we all say)
But he'll say, I was the only one (well you know better than that)
How much that lie detector cost you
It cost me a pretty penny, I'm telling you
(Well it's gonna cost you more that, because he's gonna cause you to believe)
(He ain't lying)
I thought he was different, he had such a handsome face, and everything
(Well don't look at the face baby, look at the lips, then see what he do)
I just knew he was the one (and as usual you were wrong)
(Did you watch his mouth)
(Whatever he did, Honey believe me)
(He lie)
