I don't understand
Why you gonna go into bed
I don't, I don't understand
Promisin' everything
My world is on the palm of your hands
Promise, promise everything

Those honey-colored eyes
I just let it slide
Every single time with those beautiful eyes
Oh, baby, oh oh
Somebody tell me
'Cause I can't figure this out

Why can't you be honest?
Why you gonna lie so well?
Boy, you should get an Oscar as a price for every little lie you tell
Why can't you be honest?
Why you gonna lie so well?
I don't wanna fall, boy, everytime I fall, boy, you
You put me through hell

I don't understand
Why you gonna be like that? (Uh huh)
Why you gonna be like that? (That that)
So you run around with your childish friends
Saying things behind my back
Saying things behind my back

Those honey-colored eyes get me everytime
Fooled so many times
Ooh, I cannot get this right
Oh... Boy
Somebody tell me
'Cause I can't figure this out

Why can't you be honest?
Why you gonna lie so well?
Boy, you should get an Oscar as a price for every little lie you tell
Why can't you be honest? (Why can't you be honest baby?)
Why you gonna lie so well?
I don't wanna fall, boy, everytime I fall, boy, you
You put me through hell

You know the perfect words to say
You make me believe that whatever you sayin'
I buyin' it, why you play? Oh
You're so good at everything
But baby, I ain't of the fool
'Cause you're so bad at telling the truth

Why can't you be honest?
Why you gonna lie so well?
Boy, you should get an Oscar as a price for every little lie you tell
Why can't you be honest?
Why you gonna lie so well?
I don't wanna fall, boy, everytime I fall, boy, you
I'm only asking for you to be honest
Why can't you be honest?
Why you gonna lie so well?
Boy, you should get an Oscar as a price for every little lie you tell
Why can't you be honest?
Why you gonna lie so well?
I don't wanna fall, boy, everytime I fall, boy, you

Why can't you be honest, baby?
Only asking for you to be honest
