Lyrics Boyz II Men – I Shoulda Lied

Verse 1 – Shawn
I probably should have told her the sky was falling
Or maybe that my car ran out of gas
My grandma was sick and I had to leave town right away

Nate
Tell one more to fix the last one
But I never get back to the truth
Thinking to myself she’ll never find out
That’s what we do (That’s what we do)
That’s how we do (That’s how we do)

Bridge 1 – Wanya
I wonder what she really thinks of me
Shouldn’t really told her everything
But it’s too late
Can’t take it back
She’ll never look at me the same way again
noooooo

Chorus
(I shoulda lied) Cuz the truth may not set me free
(And now goodbye) Is more than just a word
My honesty just became my enemy
Maybe a lie would have made things right this time
Shoulda lied
Shoulda lied

Verse 2 – Nate
Shoulda said it was the end of the world
But sadly it’s my reality

Shawn
Would she stay if I said I only had one day left

Bridge 2 – Wanya
I wonder what she really thinks of me
I wish I would have never said a thing
But it’s too late for that
I don’t think she’s coming back
And I’ll never look at truth the same again

Chorus
(I shoulda lied) Cuz the truth may not set me free
(And now goodbye) Is more than just a word
My honesty just became my enemy
Maybe a lie would have made things right this time
Shoulda lied
Shoulda lied

Bridge 2 — Wanya
Now I’m trying hard to convince my heart
That everything would be ok
She said she’ll never leave
and I just can’t believe she’s gone
And now I know

Chorus
(I shoulda lied) Cuz the truth may not set me free
(And now goodbye) Is more than just a word
My honesty just became my enemy
Maybe a lie would have made things right this time
I Shoulda lied
And now goodbye

Promise myself next time I won’t tell the truth
Cuz If I knew what I knew right now I’ll still be with you
I shoulda lied
Shoulda lied
I shoulda lied
Should lied
