We want to believe you
We really do
But you make it so hard
We can't help but doubt you
You are so convincing
That's your game
Even when your excuses
Are so incredibly lame
We are not dumb
Then again maybe we are
After all we bought your stories
When they seemed bizarre
Let us see your face
Let us look into your eyes
Let us see if we can tell
The truth from lies
You seem a little nervous
Do you have something to hide
You can tell us anything
Let us be your guide
You know we care
We mean only the best
We love you to death
Please pass this test
When the lie becomes truth
Will you know what to do
When the lie becomes truth
There is no forgiving you
You had your chance
You made your choice
We see it all
We hear your voice
You climbed a mountain
Said it was pretty tall
You survived forty below
And a terrible snowfall
You were courageous
Saved all your friends
Like Holden Caulfield
And all that he portends
We know you're good
No need to convince
We're just not sure
About the words you mince
We went out to dinner
Someone started to choke
You performed the Heimlich
We thought it was a joke
We think you're amazing
We think you rock
You've finally made good
Can we join your flock
