Story behind the song
Do you lie because you love me, and do I love you because you lie?
Lyrics
LOVE AND LIES You tell me you’ll be Away for the weekend. You have to leave me To stay with a sick friend. Guess the flu season Lasts forever ‘round here. You used the same reason Every weekend this year. I see love and lies In your loving eyes; Deceit and desire In your loving eyes. One catches fire; The other dies. I see love and lies In your loving eyes. You come back to me So well-rested and tanned. Pretty plain to see That there’s another man. You say, “Oh, no, Dear! You’re my one and only!” Why is it you’re here, And I still feel so lonely? I see love and lies In your loving eyes; Deceit and desire In your loving eyes. One catches fire; The other dies. I see love and lies In your loving eyes. Like white gloves And black ties, Like formal attire, Both love and lies Dress in desire. I see love and lies In your loving eyes; Deceit and desire In your loving eyes. One catches fire; The other dies. I see love and lies In your loving eyes. Do you lie Because you love me, And do I love you Because you lie? Love and lies, Oh, love and lies. Copyright © 2008 Lex Zaleta

Nice collab...again...between two very talented guys. Sometimes Dusty's vox remind me of that Mr.Caldwell that did lead vox in Marshall Tucker..especially in this song. Cool tune Lex...you and DD are a killer team!
