[Verse 1] Honey, the only time you told the truth It rolled down like sweet vermouth. That’s when I saw who you really are You ain’t no falling star. Just a liar and a cheater, . a coward, wife-beater [Chorus] Sweet vermouth lies, dripping off your tongue Every “I love you” came undone Tears fall like a waterfall washing it all away I go silent but you better hear I’m done on that floor wiping blood from my chin, my dear They raise their beers and call you mellow But I know the truth… Sweet vermouth lies [Verse 2] You called me a whore then slammed the door Left me bleeding on the kitchen floor Months of candy and roses, your Corvette lies While our love was slowly dying inside [Bridge] Leavin’ ain’t easy, staying’s a slow death I’m tired of bruises and your sweet breath [Final Chorus] Sweet vermouth lies — I finally see through! No more blood on my chin, no more living for you The ship has sailed, I’m walking away Your sweet vermouth lies won’t take another bite Never… ever… again.
