That you aren't telling tales to her?

If you never tell a lie to her
You don't have to remember anything
It all goes out the window when
I try to do it myself

Can you blatantly say looking straight in her face
That you ain't telling tales to her?
That you never get stressed when she questions
Events you'll be best to forget

Can you actually blag when the lamb glances
When you prang and your chatting
That if you had the chance to go back to her pad
For a passionate act you wouldn't have it? Oi, but why's that then?

It's cause the reason you been faithful is, been so good
'Cause you've never seen temptation
Deep down you hear the mans burden
(We all have a man's burden in our heads)
You'll always be a bad person

It's getting you down, you were letting her down
You were tempted and you failed
You showed her up, you need to be owning up
You need to show her you love her for once

It was an extreme circumstance it was she that advanced
She defeated you gradually
So you must then be honest, you must then get on this
Mend the wrong shit

If you never tell a lie to her
You don't have to remember anything
It all goes out the window when
I try to do it myself

Oi oi, so why you wanna phone up? Why you wanna own up?
You were selfish and so dumb
To ease it off your chest, to be relieved of the mess
That's being proper selfish, oi

I been in some broken moments, I know what goes on the road
But there's a road you chose
However coked up your brain, you know you chose to strain
She knows your game, oi

But it makes you see things clearer
It was weird though, man
But you didn't wanna be with her
Seriously back home

If a girl was to even hear
It would spare her weak heart
And she'd have no fear

The chance to see the fit thing naked will spell and mesmerize you
You'll disregard the ways the lady in your life inspires you
Which is why the day she tires of you
You'll be crying and howling

And if you have the chance to go back to her pad
For a passionate act she won't allow it
But if your plans for a chance to go back ain't even had
Then the passionate act won't happen

'Cause you plan not to have the chance
Rewind that back if that sounded fast, oi
You can't think straight, you gotta avoid the situation

Forget what she's doing
You may be mugged if you trust too much
But it will fuck you up more worrying about trust

If you never tell a lie to her
You don't have to remember anything
But it all goes out the window when
I try to do it myself

If you never tell a lie to her
You don't have to remember anything
But it all goes out the window when
I try to do it myself

You may be mugged if you trust too much
But it will more fuck you up
It will more fuck you up, worrying about trust

That you aren't telling tales to her?
