Don't Ask Me To Lie For You

The news that you just told me,

Is hard for me to take.

You confess that you’ve been cheating

So what do you want me to say?

Because I stood up for you when you married

And I heard you take your vows

But now, I’m standing up for him

So don’t ask me to lie for you now.

I won’t lie for you

I won’t be on your side

I won’t be a part of your breaking his heart

I won’t lie for you

Don’t even expect me to

Our friendship goes back a long way

And I’ve always told you the truth

But my conscience won’t let me play this game

So don’t ask me to lie for you.
