[Verse] You talk a big game for a man so easy One little smirk and you think you can tease me Got that expensive taste, that secondhand nerve You want the whole damn thing without getting what you deserve You say you're different, baby, that's adorable Your self-control looks pretty damn deplorable You keep your halo tilted just right But I know what you're thinking when you look at me tonight [Pre-Chorus] Go on, play innocent, give me that smile We both know you're staying a little while I love a man who can lie with style [Chorus] Pretty when you lie With that look of fake surprise when I catch you eye to eye You can swear you're in control, but your alibi is fried You're so damn good at playing decent For a man with wicked appetite Pretty when you lie All that attitude, and still you can't resist the high Uh, say it with your chest Mm, I know you want the rest Oh, baby, don't be shy Pretty... Pretty... So damend pretty Pretty when you lie [Verse] You love a little danger in designer clothes And dirty little secrets that nobody knows You want me sweet, discreet, obedient, polite That's a cute little fantasy to entertain tonight You make your rules like I'm supposed to be impressed Then lose your train of thought when I put you to the test You're not mysterious, just overdressed For a man whose self-control is looking seriously stressed [Pre-Chorus] Don't give me speeches, give me something real That pretty mouth works better when you drop the spiel You love the chase until I take the wheel [Chorus] Pretty when you lie With your well-rehearsed excuses barely holding up tonight You act like I'm temptation, like you're fighting for your life But you're the one who keeps on coming back And I'm the one who sees right through your alibi Pretty when you lie That polished gentleman routine looks better when it's out of sight Oh, look at you All dressed up, no alibi Mm, tell the truth Pretty... Pretty innocent.. So damned pretty.. Pretty when you lie [Verse] I don't need promises dressed up with satin bows I prefer a little honesty beneath those tailored clothes Don't confuse my manners with a weakness you can use I'm not the one with everything to lose You want the thrill of getting caught A little habbit that you swear you never sought But don't mistake desire for a weakness in disguise I'm not the one who's frightened when somebody reads his eyes [Bridge] You want the thrill, but not the label Want the sin, but keep your halo Want me wicked, want me willing Want my lips to leave you grinning You can keep your reputation I can skip the conversation But don't you dare act surprised When I see through your pretty lies [Pre-Chorus] One last chance to drop the act No slick excuse can change the facts Now show me who's beneath that mask [Final-Chorus] Pretty when you lie With your perfect little manners and your appetite tonight You can play the gentleman, but we both know that ain't right You came here looking for a little trouble Now you're looking at the one who sets the price Pretty when you lie Keep that wicked little smile, I love to watch you try Pretty When You Lie You're so damn convincing till I look you in the eyes You can keep your reputation, I'll enjoy the playful disguise If you're going to play the villain, darling, do it right [Outro] Such a gentleman, what a charming little fraud All that confidence, still fishing for applause Go on, baby, give me one more try Tell me something pretty, tell me one more lie Mm, so convincing Mm, so expensive So damn pretty, such a beautiful disguise Pretty when you lie Pretty when you lie...
