Would I Lie to You? Lyrics

[Intro]
No, no, no, baby
Mhm-mmm
La-la-la-la-la-la (Look into my eyes)
Would I lie to you, yeah? (Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you?)

[Chorus]
Look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide?
Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you? (Oh, yeah)
Don't you know it's true, girl, there's no one else but you?
Would I lie to you, baby, yeah? Come on


[Verse 1]
Everybody wants to know the truth
In my arms is the only proof
I've hidden my heart behind the bedroom door
Now it's open, I can't do no more

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm telling you, baby, you will never find another girl
In this heart of mine (Oh-oh, oh)


[Chorus]
Look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide?
Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you? (Oh, yeah)
Don't you know it's true, girl, there's no one else but you?
Would I lie to you, baby, yeah? Come on (Would I lie to you?)
[Verse 2]
Everybody's got their history (History)
On every page, a mystery (It's a mystery, yeah)
You can read my diary, you're in every line
Jealous minds, never satisfied

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm telling you, baby, you will never find another girl
In this heart of mine, woo! (In this heart of mine)

[Chorus]
Look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide?
Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you? (Oh, yeah)
Don't you know it's true, girl, there's no one else but you?
Would I lie to you, baby, yeah? (Would I lie to you?)
Come on


[Break]
(Ooh, look into my eyes) Ooh, ooh
(Would I lie to you, baby? Would I lie to you?) Would I lie to you, baby? (Oh, yeah)
(Ooh, look into my eyes) Yeah, yeah
(Would I lie to you, baby? Would I lie to you?) Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]
(Would I lie to you?) When you wanna see me night and day
(Would I lie?) If I tell you that I'm here to stay
(Would I lie to you?) Do you think I give my love away?
(Would I lie?) That's not the kind of game I play
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm telling you, baby, you will never find another girl
In this heart of mine (In this heart of mine, deep in my heart)
Woo

[Chorus]
Look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide?
Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you? (Oh, yeah)
Don't you know it's true, girl, there's no one else but you?
Would I lie to you, baby, yeah? (Would I lie to you?)
(Would I lie to you, baby?) Come on

Look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide?
Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you? (Oh, yeah)
Don't you know it's true, girl, there's no one else but you?
Would I lie to you, baby, yeah? (Would I lie to you?)
(Come on, come on, come on, come on and kiss me, baby)
(Ooh, look into my eyes) Hey, woohoo
(Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you?)
There ain't no one else but you
(Ooh, look into my eyes) Oh, oh
(Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you?)
Come on, come on, come on, come on and trust me, baby
(Ooh, look into my eyes)
I won't lie to you, baby (Would I lie to you?) (Oh, yeah)
There ain't no-one else but you, darling
Tell me what you need, I got what you need, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

A big hit worldwide by the American R&B/soul duo, topping the charts in UK, New Zealand and several other European countries in 1992-93. Their follow-up singles did not manage to be as successful, thus, Charles & Eddie are one-hit wonders.
