Girls lie to boys and boys lie to girls
He says, 'I've been at the office, papers up to here'
But he smells like beer, she says, 'It's okay'
He thinks she doesn't know, women always know

But I'm gonna be the one to break all of those rules
I think those people are fools
The scandal's nothing new
What good is the truth if we never use it?

You've just got to trust me sometimes
You've just got to trust me sometimes

'Trust me,' he says in the dark
She's saved it all this time but to him it's worth a dime
She found out the hard way you get the kisses then the tears
To think she'd saved it all these years

But I'm gonna be the one to break all of those rules
I think those people are fools
The scandal's nothing new
What good is the truth if we never use it?

You've just got to trust me sometime
You've just got to trust me sometime
You've just got to trust me sometime

I may leave you but I will never lie
I may leave you but I will never lie, I will never lie

She said, 'I will love you forever, baby, you are my home'
But five years later he's alone
With some kids and a car, his only warmth is from the heater
He wonders how he believed her

You've just got to trust me sometime
You've just got to trust me sometime
You've just got to trust me sometime

You've just got to break all of those rules
I think those people are fools
The scandal's nothing new
What good, what good, what good is the truth?
The truth, the truth, the truth

I didn't tell you because I didn't want to hurt you
