Standard lie no. 1 (Video)

I guess I've read or heard or told all the standard lies
'cause when I hear him telling one it comes as no surprise
He never has a new one than the ones he told before
And I've kind of got the number, and it's just like keeping score 

He says: Sorry I'm so late, but I ran into an old friend
Well, I know that one well, that's old standard number ten
I won't be home for dinner, honey, 'cause I'll be working late
Well, score one more for good old standard lie number eight

There's no way of keeping score on the standard number four
He tells himself that I don't know what's going on
Then he comes home after midnight, when he's got his cheating done
And he whispers that he loves me -- standard lie number one

Those lies are his favorites, they're the ones he likes to tell
But there's a different set of numbers for the ones I tell myself
But my lies hurt me so much more than his old stories do
'cause I know his are lies, but I pretend that mine are true

Standard number three is that some day I'm gonna leave
Number two is he'll be sorry when I'm gone
But the biggest one of all, the one that keeps me hanging on
is that he really loves me |: |: standard lie number one :| :|
