Is it not true? that most men lie
Concealing faults which they possess,
easier to lie than to confess
Although they cannot tell you why
a lie becomes their stock reply.
A measure of their foolishness
Is it not true?

Your truthfulness I won’t deny
but when you look me in the eye
Loudly protesting honesty
you plant the seeds of doubt in me
Is it not true?

And even more tragic from a woman's viewpoint, because believing in a scoundrel brings so much deeply personal, intense misery. (I speak from experience!) (Report)Reply
