If you cannot toss your heart
gaily in the ring,
Love me while the moment
lingers,
If you cannot cross your heart
that I'm everything,
Try at least to cross your
fingers.
Talk to me, baby, tell me lies,
Tell me lies as sweet as apple
pie.
Whisper you tremble with a wild
desire
To light the fire in my eyes.
Tell me I'm marvelous,
exaggerate!
Prevaricate if you must.
Just talk to me, baby, soft and
low,
Then if you decide it's really
so,
Swear you be mine forever,
otherwise just talk to me,
And tell me lies, lies, lies,
lies,
Great, big, great big lies.
