Lie List


No, I'm not seeing anyone else.
Sure, I'll leave your money on the shelf.
I really have something to do.
Would I ever, ever lie to you?
I'm very experienced in this area.
Fancy free? Nothing's scarier.
I just want to be alone.
Nothing incriminating in my phone.
It's not you, it's me.
You're the one I've waited to see.
Of course I did well in school.
Of course I'll return your tools.
How many? Six, seven—no, eight.
But no, not tonight... I work late.
I'll wash your clothes, fold them too.
Have I ever, ever lied to you?
