White Lies

"Don't lay a finger" I said but he held her with five
Kissed the crest of her lips
And put his hands on her thigh
"One million in a week or the girl's gonna go"
"I'd kill you in a second" He laughed "Yeah I know"
I won eight hundred thousand on a game show
But it's not enough to win her back
As my tears hit the floor he still said "No"
"Come on man give me some slack"
I looked at the case he said "I'll show you her blood"
I screamed down the phoneline
"So is this the price of love?"
When I stare in your eyes I see the image of God
Well girl listen out for the phonecall and pray for a flood
I called at a quarter past nine and said "I've done all I can"
