WOULD I LIE TO YOU?    

Ralph McTell

When I feel good I think I could live forever.
When I get down I know someday I'll die.
The thing babe that I'm trying to put together
I'm happy with you and without you I sigh.
I'm happy with you and without you I cry
I'm happy with you and without you I wanna die.

Hey babe it is so hard to believe it 
You must try to believe it could be true
And maybe this can come about halfway near it
Tell me the truth now would I lie to you,
Tell me the truth now would I lie to you,
Tell me the truth now I can't lie to you.

Maybe it's wrong of me to say
The way I feel about you
But what's the point in me to tell you lies about it.
Babe, I'm sad without you. 

Hey babe don't look so surprised to hear it.
You must try to believe it could be true
And maybe these words can come about halfway near it.
Tell me the truth now would I lie to you,
Tell me the truth now I can't I lie to you,
Tell me the truth now would I lie to you.

Maybe it's wrong of me to say
The way that I feel about you
But what's the point in me to tell you lies about it?
Babe, I'm sad without you.

Hey, baby, I'm so glad I found you
Is it so hard to believe that could be true?
All I wanna do is keep my loving arms around you

I say, tell me the truth now would I lie to you
Tell me the truth now I can't lie to you (I wouldn't do it)
Tell me the truth now would I lie to you (you know I couldn't do it)
Tell me the truth now would I lie to you.
