Don't Lie to Me
Barbra Streisand
Why cant you just tell me the truth?
Hard to believe the things you say
Why cant you feel the tears I cry today?
Cry today
cry today
How do you win if we all lose?
You change the facts to justify
Your lips move but your words get in the way
In the way
in the way
Kings and queens, crooks and thieves
You dont see the forest for the trees
Head and heart, on our knees
You cant see what we all see
How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?
All that we built has come undone
How do you sleep when the world is burning?
Everyone answers to someone
Dont lie to me, dont lie to me, you lie to me
Dont lie to me, dont lie to me, you lie to me
You can build towers of bronze and gold
You can paint castles in the sky
You can use smoke and mirrors, old clichés,
Not today
not today
Kings and queens, crooks and thieves
You dont see the forest for the trees
Hand on heart, down on knees
You cant see what everyone sees
How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?
All that we built has come undone
How do you sleep when the world is burning?
Everyone answers to someone
Dont lie to me, dont lie to me, you lie to me
Dont lie to me, dont lie to me, you lie to me
Cant you see Im crying?
Cant you see were crying?
Wheres the new horizon?
Wheres the new horizon?
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?
All that we built has come undone
Enough is enough
How do you sleep when the world is burning?
Everyone answers to someone
Dont lie to me, dont lie to me, you lie to me
Dont lie to me, dont lie to me, you lie to me
Cant you see Im crying?
Cant you see were crying?
Everyone answers to someone"
