If you cannot toss your heart gaily in the ring
Love me while the moment lingers
If you cannot cross your heart that I'm everything
Try at least to cross your fingers

Talk to me, baby, tell me lies
Tell me lies as sweet as apple pie
Whisper, you tremble with a wild desire
To light the fire in my eyes

Tell me I'm marvelous, exaggerate
Prevaricate if you must
Just talk to me, baby, soft and low
Then if you decide, it's really so

Swear you be mine forever
Otherwise just talk to me
And tell me lies, lies, lies, lies
Great, big, great big lies
