"Lies..."

Would I lie to you?
Would I lie to you, honey??
Would I say something that wasn't true???
I'm asking you, sugar, would I lie to you????


I don 't like being lied to... I was lied to big time yesterday... by a colleague...


I am embarrassed because I believed what he told me to be 100% true... I feel that a great deal of my integrity at work has been damaged because of this man's lies.  My colleagues are telling me that I did nothing wrong... that I represented them honestly and faithfully... but this man lied... and I feel personally broadsided by all of this...



Annie, Do you want me to lie to you? I will do it for you!!
I SO loved the Eurythmics...  and Annie Lennox was always SO sexy...!!!


I've been lied to by various women in my Life... they would tell me they loved me... tell me what I meant to them... and then discard me...  why lie to someone? Other than to get what they want... in the short run...???


Lie to me...  and tell me everything is alright...
Lie to me... and tell me you'll stay here tonight...
Tell me that you will never leave...
Oh, and I'll just try to make believe...
That everything... everything you're telling me is true...





Jonny Lang... what a great talent... he recorded this song and others in a recording studio in Memphis, TN when he was only 15 years old... of course, this was after Stevie Ray Vaughan had died... and everyone was looking for the next great guitar slinger...




Lies... Lies... You're telling me that you'll be true...
Lies... Lies... That's all I ever hear from you...


Tears... Tears... that's all I ever get from you...
Tears... Tears... and now you're loving someone new...


Lies... Lies...  I can't believe a word you say...
Lies... Lies... I'm gonna make you sad someday...








This song was by a group called 'The Knickerbockers'... it's been said that this was the best song that The Beatles never made... so many thought that this was The Beatles when the song was released...

There are some great quotes out there about telling lies... among them are:

"I'm not upset that you lied to me;  I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you."
~Friedrich Nietzsche~

"A half truth is the most cowardly of lies."
~Unknown~

"The worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves."
~Unknown~

When one is lied to by one that is trusted... or one that is loved... it damages the entire foundation of our beliefs that support that relationship... be it friends or lovers....

  1. Loved that song from Johnny Lang!

    I can't help but feel sad at reading this. Everybody lies, those little white lies, we think it won't hurt anyone.

    I lied to someone and it damaged the relationship. What have I gained from it? Nothing. I learned my lesson and would never do that again. That colleague of yours gained what? Time will tell.

    It always come back to bite you in the ass. I know that for a fact.

  3. Being lied to sucks.

    I've been schooled early as my entire childhood and teenaged years were based on a lie thanks to my parents.

    Since then I really don't fully believe anything anyone tells me. There is always at least a kernel of doubt.

  6. @ Spring Flower... yeah, I like Johnny Lang as well... that is some 'guitar face' he pulls off in that video... I am sad... the quote I posted about being upset because 'I can no longer believe you' is most in effect here... on the issue that I am referring to, a great deal of trust is most relevant... and applies to a great deal of the stress that I've referred to here lately at the university... people's jobs... careers... futures... are on the line here.... I can't even begin to express the disappointment that I feel...

    @ Senorita... I am feeling so gullible after this event... I try to trust... believe EVERYONE until they have demonstrated to me that I can't trust them... and that's what has happened here... much like your scenerio.... there will always be that kernel of doubt...

    @ Darn Girl... thank you... I so appreciate that...

    @ Christine... the realization is a good thing... it's also a bad thing...
