It wasn't even difficult, I hardly had to try
Just my human nature, damned hard to deny
And it started with one little white lie
Lie, lie, pretty little lie ... compromising
Lie, Lie, one shade at a time ... one shade at a time
Lie, lie, dirty little lie ... no disguising
Lie, lie, an addiction to crime ... an addiction to crime
And you're no different than me,
The disease the same
And you're not different from her,
Only the symptoms change
Only the symptoms change
The disease ... the disease remains
I didn't think it possible, it's all beyond my shame
That my heart is noble, and I believed this game
Now it's started, it's all the same
Lie, lie, pretty little lie ... compromising
Lie, Lie, one shade at a time ... one shade at a time
Lie, lie, dirty little lie ... no disguising
Lie, lie, an addiction to crime ... an addiction to crime
And you're no different than me,
The disease the same
And you're not different from her,
Only the symptoms change
Only the symptoms change
The disease remains the same
