I Shoulda Lied - Boyz II Men

I probably should have told her the sky was falling

Or maybe that my car ran out of gas

My grandma was sick and I had to leave town right away

Not okay

Tell one more to fix the last one

But I never get back to the truth

Thinking to myself she’ll never find out

That’s what we do (That's what we do)

That’s how we do (That's how we do)

I wonder what she really thinks of me

Shouldn’t really told her everything

But it’s too late

Can’t take it back

She’ll never look at me the same way again

Noooooo

(I shoulda lied) Cause the truth made her set me free

(And now goodbye) Is more than just a word

My honesty just became my enemy

Maybe a lie would have made things right this time

Shoulda lied

Shoulda lied

Shoulda said it was the end of the world

But sadly it’s my reality

Would she stay if I said I only had one day left

Stay with me (Stay with me)

Please don’t leave (Please don’t leave)

I wonder what she really thinks of me

I wish I would have never said a thing

But it’s too late for that

I don’t think she’s coming back

And I’ll never look at truth the same again

(I shoulda lied) Cause the truth made her set me free

(And now goodbye) Is more than just a word

My honesty just became my enemy

Maybe a lie would have made things right this time

Shoulda lied

Shoulda lied

Now I’m trying hard to convince my heart

That everything would be ok

She said she’ll never leave

And I just can’t believe she’s gone

And now I know

(I shoulda lied) Cause the truth made her set me free

(And now goodbye) Is more than just a word

My honesty just became my enemy

Maybe a lie would have made things right this time

I Shoulda lied

And now goodbye

Promise myself next time I won’t tell the truth

Cuz If I knew what I knew right now I’ll still be with you

I shoulda lied

Shoulda lied

I shoulda lied

Shoulda lied
