He lied when he laid   With a downtrodden babe   He lied, oh, he lied to me   He lied when he tripped   When he broke, when he ran   With the shirt on his back and the money in his hand   He went down on his belly   And he slithered 'round the floor   Should've known better   Always done it before   And he laughed   Always do it some more      He lied when he kissed a poor, lonely miss   He lied, oh, he lied to me   He lied when he kicked   When he broke with a shout   Then he took me by the hand and he dragged me all about   He went down on his belly   And he slithered like a creep   Through the alleys and the gutters   Down the cold, hard streets   He said I should've known better   Said I, yes, I, oh, I should've known      He lied from the start when he stole my heart   He lied, oh, he lied to me   He lied when he switched   When he broke with his teeth   Then he brought this fruit and he laid it at my feet   He went down on his belly   And he slithered up a tree   He wiggled and he hissed   When he kissed my cheek   He said I should've known better   What a feral beast   Oh yeah, I should have known
