If you cannot toss your heart gaily in the ring Love me while the moment lingers If you cannot cross your heart that I'm everything Try at least to cross your fingers Talk to me, baby, tell me lies Tell me lies as sweet as apple pie Whisper, you tremble with a wild desire To light the fire in my eyes Tell me I'm marvelous, exaggerate Prevaricate if you must Just talk to me, baby, soft and low Then if you decide, it's really so Swear you be mine forever Otherwise just talk to me And tell me lies, lies, lies, lies Great, big, great big lies
