The Greatest Lies

Here they are I’ve written them down;  underlined in bold.   I’ve heard them all from men I’ve known;  the greatest lies they’ve ever told. The first one that was easy; “I’m not like other men!” For you to treat me like I am, Would surely be a sin. Trust me when I say it, “I’d never hurt someone like you.” And women they want to believe; But, that’s lie number two! The third is one that’s often used Quite late in the eve. It’s,  “I  just want to hold you.” Do they think we’re that naive? The forth is that “I’m falling!” Or worse it’s, “I love you!” They say it with sincerity, They may believe it’s true. The fifth comes after loving. It almost makes me sad…. For all the times I’ve heard it. “You’re the best I’ve ever had!” But the one that hurts the most; The words are seldom varied…. Is, “I’m telling you the truth; Darlin, I’m not married!”
