Should I Lie

I'll remember all my life the night
My father ran away
I saw my mother sitting on a broken chair
Trying to hide the tears she cried
And then she said we had to move into another home
Where we would not be known
But when the kids at school began to ask about my dad
I didn't know what to answer

Should I lie, should I lie
Should I lie or tell the truth?
What is wrong, what is right
To my soul and to my pride?
What am I, what am I
What am I supposed to do?
Should I lie, should I lie
Should I lie or tell the truth?

I grew up and then I met a girl
We got married
I was in love with her and she with me
My life was fine for the first time
But then I spoiled it all by staying out at night
Meeting other girls
And when I had to tell why every day I'd been away
I didn't know what to answer

Should I lie, should I lie
Should I lie or tell the truth?
What is wrong, what is right
To my soul and to my pride?
What am I, what am I
What am I supposed to do?
Should I lie, should I lie
Should I lie or tell the truth?

Should I lie, should I lie
Should I lie or tell the truth?
What is wrong, what is right
To my soul and to my pride?
What am I, what am I
What am I supposed to do?
Should I lie, should I lie
Should I lie or tell the truth?
