Songs About Lying

I don't know about you, but I've enjoyed this week's utterly-pointless-yet-somehow-still-fulfilling series of posts featuring Songs About Crying, Flying, and now Lying. (There are two more of these in store after today – Songs About Trying and Songs About Dying.) As always, I welcome your input as to which of your favorite songs I may have missed. Sometimes there may be a good reason for a song's omission, sometimes the song in question may have completely slipped my mind, and sometimes – and these are the best – I've never even heard of the song you suggest and thereby get to discover some wonderful new music (to me, at least). So, basically, it's a win-win situation for all parties involved. But enough preamble – enjoy it already!  ~  JH

1)  The Band Perry  ~  "You Lie"

2)  The Black Eyed Peas  ~  "Don't Lie"

3)  Fleetwood Mac  ~  "Little Lies"

4)  Shakira ft. Wyclef Jean  ~  "Hips Don't Lie"

5)  Charles & Eddie  ~  "Would I Lie To You?"  (NOTE: Though it shares the same title as the Eurythmics song which I posted not too long ago, this is an entirely different song – albeit no less memorable a song.)

6)  Kimberly Anne  ~  "Liar"

7)  Michael Bolton  ~  "Said I Loved You…But I Lied"  (I really don't like Michael Bolton, but this song belonged in this collection.)

9)  Simple Plan  ~  "Your Love Is A Lie"

10)  Reba McEntire  ~  "You Lie"

11)  Thirty Seconds To Mars  ~  "A Beautiful Lie"

12)  Keaton Henson  ~  "Lying To You"
