Outright Lies - 88 Fingers Louie

I try my best to reach perfection
And all I get is more rejection
I wanna know what you're about

It's nice to know someone's out there asking
But what's it worth when it's all you're telling?
I think it's you I've finally figured out

Those outright lies you've said are knocking me down
What's left to do when your life's turned upside down?

I've gotten flak from all who know me
If you speak truth then you need to show me
You can't expect me to just nod my head and smile
Cos ignorance is not my style

As my false pride gets in the way
I start believing all you say
I cross my fingers all the while

I'm running in a different race
I'm out of time and out of place
I play the sucker all the time
I simply can't make up my mind
Whoever I choose to believe
Who says they won't stand up and leave
And who'll be waiting next in line
Won't you give me another sign?

Those outright lies you've said are knocking me down
What's left to do when your life's turned upside down?

Turn it upside down - Turn it upside down
Turn it upside down - Turn it upside down
