Not Forced To Lie

NOT FORCED TO LIE - Written by Carroll Bryant

The burdens that we carry can make us very weary 

And sometimes love is just not enough

To see us through

Even though you're only strong enough to be lonely

You're still growing and I know sometimes

You can't help to feel the way that you do

When I see your face I have to catch my breath

And on the wings of love I want to fly

Fly with you tonight

But you're telling me stories 

You tell them with such fury 

Let me tell you something, baby

You're getting me high

But your missing your calling

I know you're not falling (for me)

Let me say it more clearly, girl

You're not forced to lie

(Not forced to lie)

Every evening, every morning 

We pretend to play this game and sometimes

It's hard to tell if you win or lose

Even though you're so contrary 

I find it necessary sometimes to spank you

When you get the notion that you got something to prove

When I see your face I have to catch my breath

And on the wings of love I want to fly

Fly with you tonight

But you're telling me stories 

You tell them with such fury 

Let me tell you something, baby

You're getting me high

But your missing your calling

I know you're not falling (for me)

Let me say it more clearly, girl

You're not forced to lie

(Not forced to lie)

You bury your feelings 

Hide them away

You hide them from me

My love you keep stealing

Even when I am willing

To give it to you for free

I can't stand this time that we share

I keep on thinking that you really don't care 

I can't stand this time away from you

The burdens that we carry can make us very weary 

And sometimes love is just not enough

To see us through

Even though you're only strong enough to be lonely

You're still growing and I know sometimes

You can't help to feel the way that you do

But you're telling me stories 

You tell them with such fury 

Let me tell you something, baby

You're getting me high

But your missing your calling

I know you're not falling (for me)

Let me say it more clearly, girl

You're not forced to lie

(Not forced to lie)
