Bad habits don't break like promises do
(I can't count on you)
They don't break like hearts, like bones
Like fine china when a bull's set loose in a room
[Verse 2]
Bad boys, no they're never gonna tell you the truth
(Just tall tales to soothe)
Daddy used to say all a man's got is his word
But he was the first man to lie to you
[Pre Chorus]
You know just what to say to keep me from going
When my foot's out the door halfway and the towel's in my hand to throw in
And you know just what to do to stop me from crying
It's like you're selling snake oil, charmer, and I'm the one who's buying
You tell me I'm a gateway drug that takes you that much higher
And while my heart believes every word, my mind knows you're a liar
You tell me I'm a gateway drug that takes you that much higher
And while my heart believes every word, my mind knows you're a liar
[Chorus]
Lie to me, baby
Come lie to me baby
Break my heart, break my mind, break my soul
Come drive me crazy
Lie to me, baby
Come lie to me baby
Tear me apart, limb from limb, just like you do it on the daily
[Verse 3]
Day in and day out it's country, westerns and folk
(Don't you know?)
Lord only knows how much I love that bloke
(I thought I told you so)
Every time we cruising down the wild, wild west coast
(Gun's loaded with ammo)
We burning up the road turning up the radio, oh
(You're my Rodeo Romeo)
[Pre Chorus]
In your Ferrari, just you and me
600 Horsepower, stallion
We're fast and furious
I should be dubious
But I love the thrill of the ride, the lies
In your Ferrari, just you and me
600 Horsepower, stallion
We're fast and furious
I should be dubious
But I love the thrill of the ride, the lies
[Chorus]
Lie to me, baby
Come lie to me baby
Break my heart, break my mind, break my soul
Come drive me crazy
Lie to me, baby
Come lie to me baby
Tear me apart, limb from limb, just like you do it on the daily
[Bridge]
(Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on)
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on)
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on)
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on)
[Outro]
Cowboy, yee-haw, I need ya
In the dry, barren, desert of my mind
I've got steel hooves in my head, it's a horse I can't beat dead
This jockey's galloping all the time, he's all mine now
Cowboy yee-haw, I need ya
In the deep dark depths of my heart
You walk on water, father
I'll always put you first
More than Johnny Walker, mustangs, moonlight
That's right
