Love the Way You Lie

You said you'd never been on the back of a bike So I brought you a helmet, ready for a wild night You held on tight as we took to the road But you'd ridden before–still, I loved the show I love the way you lie, just to see me smile With little white lies that go the extra mile Whether truth or jest, in your eyes I see A love that makes me feel so free I served you that meal, thought I'd nailed it down Hot dogs and mac, my "chef's" renown You took a bite, and smiled so sweet But deep down I knew, you needed relief I love the way you lie, just to see me smile With little white lies that go the extra mile Whether truth or jest, in your eyes I see A love that makes me feel so free Years down the line, my hair starts to fade You laugh and you tell me, "Nothing's changed" You say, "Hair or not, I'm yours to keep" "I can hardly tell" and then kiss my cheek I love the way you lie, just to see me smile With little white lies that go the extra mile Whether truth or jest, in your eyes I see A love that makes me feel so free For my big 4-0, a surprise up your sleeve Just me and you, a trip to Park City The suitcase in back gave it all away But I loved you even more on that day I love the way you lie, just to see me smile With little white lies that go the extra mile Whether truth or jest, in your eyes I see A love that makes me feel so free When the night arrives, and you lie in our bed Or stretched on the rug with that toss of your head Soft curves and comfort, your form is pure delight No sweeter sight than you lying here tonight I love the way you lie, your skin on my skin Whispering naughty things that make me grin I love the way you lie, put me on your list But those eyes, those thighs, you know I can't resist So here's to the lies that bring us close To half-spoken truths, the love I chose With winks and whispers, with laughter and signs We've written our story through lows and highs For every little lie, for each stolen smile I love you more in spite of your guile In every embrace, every whispered reply I love you more with every lie I love the way you lie
