Why Trust You lyrics

Aw, you come on strong 

with a great big smile,

but your teeth are as sharp 

as a crocodile.

You promised me the moon 

and the stars and the sun,

but you never did nothin' for anyone.

Can't look me in the face 

or straight in the eye,

I'd buy the movie rights to your alibi.

I wonder how low you would go,

I wonder how high 

your head would blow.

You're a psychopathic liar,

your soul is on fire

You're bluffin' with nothin' 

while the stakes are gettin' higher.

Why trust you?

You never made a dream come true.

Why trust you?

Give me one good reason, 

one good reason why.

Well, you come to me 

all teary-eyed

with your big, tall tale 

way up in the sky,

beggin' on your knees 

for another chance,

but everybody knows 

that's a song and a dance.

Yeah, there used to be a time 

when you were the best.

You had the fastest tongue 

in the west.

You gave a look and a line 

like nobody else.

You'd try to sell the Bible 

to the devil himself.

You sadistic little liar,

you're walkin' on a wire.

You're bluffin' up with nothin'

and the bills are gettin' higher.

Why trust you?

You never made a dream come true.

Why trust you?

Give me one good reason, 

one good reason.

Why trust you?

The noose is getting tighter,

your face is turning whiter.

You can stuff it up your muffin 

and go stick it in the fire.

(Why trust you?)

Why trust you?

(You never made a dream come true )

You never, never, 

made a dream come true.

(Why trust you?)

(Give me one good reason)

(One good reason)

You stinkin' little liar, 

baby, you should set your pants on fire.

(Why trust you?)

(You never made a dream come true )

You never spit out what you mean.

(Why trust you?)

Come clean.

You're acting like an addict 

with a holy, holy automatic.

Why trust you? 

(Why trust you?)

I'm through. 

(Why trust you?)

I'm gone 

(Why trust you?)

into the next song. 

Why trust you?
