After you came in late last night
  You said you'd been alone
  Just needed some room to clear your mind
  A little time away from home
  
  Told me you were down on Highway 9
  Down by the river bend
  But this town has ears and this town has eyes
  And a whole lot of so called friends
  Oooh that ain't the way I heard it
  Oooh that ain't the way I heard it
  
  Don't you think I wanna trust every word you say
  Don't you think I wanna look in your eyes
  And feel suspicion slip away
  When you say you got nothin' to hide
  Oooh that ain't the way I heard it
  Oooh that ain't the way I heard it
  
  Throw me out a lifeline baby
  Offer me a grain of truth
  Treat me with a little bit of dignity
  I think I deserve that much from you
  
  Gimme one reason for stayin' cool
  Tell me they're no good liars
  Don't make me play your pathetic fool
  Baby show me that old desire
