I Lied

So about that thing i said earlier in that statement

That firm, definitive, eye-contact-holding claim

We need to have a little chat a musical adjustment of the facts

I told you with a straight face and a nod so very sure

I painted you a picture that was pristine and pure

I built it up so solid, made the details so secure, g

I had you leanin' in and hangin' on every word, for sure

But a little voice inside me, it began to tap its feet

A conscience with a syncopated, funky backbeat

It said "the truth is over there, you're standin' in the deceit"

And so i must come clean before the reckoning's complete

I lied, lied, lied

My bad, my fault, and a oopsie

That story got away from me like a slippery popsicle

(Say it)

I lied, lied, lied

My bad, my fault, and a oopsie

My alibi built on a foundation fusion of poop-sie

(The jig is up)

That thing about the dog and the homework and the train

The elaborate excuse that was supposin' to explain the rain

The facts, upon review, were feelin' quite a bit of strain

They started to unravel like a cheap polyester chain

It's a "whoopsie-daisy," a "my mistake"

A "cake that i was fully meant to bake, but didn't make"

A "truth i was apparently afraid to take"

So let me correct the record, for integrity's sweet sake

I lied, lied, lied

My bad, my fault, and a oopsie

That story got away from me like a slippery popsicle

(You heard the man)

I lied, lied, lied

My bad, my fault, and a oopsie

My alibi built on a foundation of a dream of poop-sie, oh

Okay, look in my defense

It felt true at the time

It rhymed

It was a victim of circumstance and prime

It's a "creative embellishment"

A "narrative enlargement"

A "temporary factual disarmament"

A little harm-less, friendly, victim-less fib-olation, y'all

I lied, lied, lied

My bad, my fault, and a oopsie
