Tall Tales Letra

and no, i don't believe your eyes anymore
they tell such pretty, pretty lies all the time

and do i look like such a fool, to fall for that again?
well, i guess you think i do
and every now and then, your colors start to show
and every now and then i learn to let you go

two timin' me, nickel and dimin' me
what have you been sellin'?
tall tales are the only kind of truth
that you've been tellin'

and i don't wanna meet your man
yes, he's everything that i ain't
he's got clean jeans and pretty hands
and no scars on his face
that's okay, i understand
that i'm not so hard to replace
and everytime you get the chance, you let me know

two timin' me, nickel and dimin' me
what have you been sellin'?
tall tales are the only kind of truth
that you've been tellin'

and that's the way it's always been
it's down and up and down again
so leave me level, won't you please?
and you won't ever catch me beggin' on my knees
