Don't Tell a Lie About Me, Dear (And I Won't Tell the Truth About You)

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

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 want to know
Why tell a lie until you see, honey child
If all them things you talk about is really true

Honest and truly darling, 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
