Lyrics Barbra Streisand

Barbra Streisand

Don't Lie to Me

Why can't you just tell me the truth?

Hard to believe the things you say

Why can't you feel the tears I cried today

Cried today, cried today

How do you win if we all lose?

You change the facts to justify

Your lips move but your words get in the way

In the way, in the way

Kings and Queens, crooks and thieves

You don't see the forest for the trees

Head and heart, on our knees

You can't see what we all see

How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?

All that we built has come undone

How do you sleep when the world is burning?

Everyone answers to someone

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me

You can build towers of bronze and gold

You can build castles in the sky

You can use smoke and mirrors, all clichés

Not today, not today

Kings and Queens, crooks and thieves

You don't see the forest for the trees

Hand and heart, down on knees

You can't see what everyone see

How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?

All that we built has come undone

How do you sleep when the world is burning?

Everyone answers to someone

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me

Can't you see I'm crying?

Can't you see we're crying?

Where's the new horizon?

Where's the new horizon?

How do you sleep?

How do you sleep?

How do you sleep?

(How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?)

How do you sleep?

(All that we built has come undone)

Enough is enough

(How do you sleep when the world is burning?)

How do you sleep?

(Everyone answers to someone)

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me

Can't you see I'm crying?

(Can't you see we're crying?)

Can't you see we're crying?

Everyone answers to someone
