Don't tell a lie about me, dear
And I won't tell the truth about you
Why tell a lie till you see, dear
If all of those things are true

Honest and truly, I love you
Remember you loved me too
So don't tell a lie about me, dear
And I won't tell the truth about you

[Spoken]
Don't go out and tell a lie about me, honey
And I'll grant ya, I sure won't tell the truth about you
I wanna know, why tell a lie, until you see, honey child
If all them things you talkin' 'bout is really true

Honest and truly, darlin', I love you
And I can remember the time
When you used to say that you loved me too

So don't tell a lie about me, dear
And I won't tell the truth about you
