R. Kelly - When a Man Lies Lyrics

How he makes her feel
When he look her in the eyes and tell her
I love you, yeah
He seems so for real
When he whispers and says
I'll never leave you
And he speaks them words to her heart
And make her feel like she on top
Of the world, yeah, oh my
Then turn around and break her heart
And make her feel like the whole world's on top of her, whoa
And now some other man can talk about it

When a man lies, he pierces the very soul of that woman
Yes he does, yeah
I'm just telling the truth
When a man lies, he kills every reason
She ever had for loving him, yeah
Mirror I'm talking to you, yeah

How he promised her things
While he's making sweet love to her mind
Selling big dreams, yeah
That's what he do, or he can paint the scene
With every word out of his mouth
Make her wanna believe, oh she believes
That everything that he says is true
Now all the dreams she bought and the tales he told
Cinderella to the old pot of gold
Broke up for a heart and stole the glory
And he left me here to tell the story

When a man lies, he pierces the very soul of that woman
Yes he does, yeah
And I'm just telling the truth
When a man lies, he kills every reason
She ever had for loving him, yeah
Mirror I'm talking to you

Hey now don't y'all shoot the messenger, nah, nah
'Cause I was sent here to deliver
Y'all can go ahead and call me a lawyer
'Cause today I'll represent the woman

'Cause when a man lies, he pierces the very soul of that woman
Yes he does, hey
And I'm just telling the truth
When a man lies, he kills every reason
That she had, yeah
Mirror I'm talking to you

When a man lies, he pierces the very soul of that woman
Biggest mistake of my life
Hey and it's all over now
She packed all her bags up and moved out of town
When a man lies, he kills every reason
She ever had for loving him, yeah
Mirror I'm talking to you
