McEntire, Reba - You Lie Lyrics






We lie in the dark I know you're awake
The only sounds are the sounds this old house makes
But, Oh, how I long, I long to hear your voice
Desperate to talk, yearning to touch
Burning inside 'cause I want you so much
So I say I need you and leave you no choice

You lie you don't want to hurt me
So you lie, buy a little time, and I go along
What else can I do, maybe it's wrong
But you know how much I love you
So you lie 'til you can find a way to say goodbye
You lie

How long until you just can't go on
And the urge to break loose is just too strong
You should let go that's what you want to do
Oh but you don't know, you don't know
If it's the right thing to do

You lie you don't want to hurt me
So you lie, buy a little time, and I go along
What else can I do, maybe it's wrong
But you know how much I love you
So you lie 'til you can find a way to say goodbye
You lie

McEntire, Reba You Lie Comments
  1. M.... M....

    I don't like the way he's manhandling that poor horse. Pisses me off..

  2. S.... C....

    We lie. It's just what we do.

  3. R.... P....

    Even in black and white she can't hide that red head sensibility. This song gets me from the first note. Takes me back in time.

  4. y.... b....

    Vickey Vaughn loves your songs.

  5. W.... H....

    Here because I heard Jake Hoot do it on The Voice -- he was fantastic!

  6. G.... H....

    This song came out about a year after my 1st wife of 6 years ran off with my so called best friend of 17 years. She was from western Oklahoma was tall, tan and slender and it was love at first sight....but she had one major problem she lied ......as i found out from the first day i met her... all lies. Fast forward 30+ years my second wife of almost 24 years died 20 months ago. Im 62 now and retired and never thought in a million years that find anybody else at my age....but i may have ....to early to know....Now Im afraid of getting married and trying to protect my house and money.

  7. C.... D....

    The horse is obviously a wild horse that was never met to be tamed. Releasing it was the best thing she could do. This kind of reminds me of the back story to how Kacey Musgraves wrote Space Cowboy.

    I've always loved this song but hadn't thought about it in a while until Mr Hoot sang it on The Voice. #Hooter!

  8. N.... M....

    Jake Hoots brings me here.

  9. V.... C....

    Love this song. May I say congrats to Jake Hoot on the Voice for singing this song. GREAT JOB SIR!!!!!

  13. m.... ....

    Who else is here because you heard Jake Hoot sing this tonight on the Voice?

    m.... ....

    Hoot was a little pitchy in the middle but overall it was fantastic. I would love to hear him get in the studio and put out his perfect version. I am crazy about his voice

    m.... ....

    Yep - my husband and I couldn't resist. Hope everyone here votes for Jake! I'm afraid Blake isn't going to win this year. I'm a rootin' for Hoot! He deserves to win!

    m.... ....

    @dmullins84037 We agree - great pipes - hopin' he wins this year. B-sure to vote for him to the end.

    m.... ....

  22. A.... ....

    I lie in the dark I know you're awake
    The only sounds are the sounds this old house makes
    But, oh, how I long, I long to hear your voice
    Desperate to talk, yearning to touch
    Burning inside because I WANT YOU SO much
    So I say I need you and leave you no choice

    You lie bc YOU WANTED TO HURT ME
    So you lie, buy a little time, and I go along
    What else can I do, maybe it's wrong
    But you know how much I love you
    So you lie until you can find a way to say GOODBYE
    YOU LIE

    How long until you just can't go on
    And the urge to break loose is just too strong
    You should let go that's what you want to do
    Oh, but you don't know, you don't know
    If it's the right thing to do

    SOOOO YOU LIE
    UNTIL YOU FOUND THE WORDS TO SAY GOODBYE

  23. B.... H....

    "You lie till you can find a way to say "goodbye"...again. 😭💔

  24. T.... W....

    Thank you

  25. U.... M....

    Tbh, I've been on both sides of this.

  26. S.... M....

    1994 just out of high school, working home construction with a small contractor in a small vacation area in Montana. My best friend at the time introduced me to country music with this song. Have loved Reba and 90’s country music ever since. Reba’s voice is so unbelievably gorgeous. What range and tone. This song brings back a flood of memories. Good times.

  27. R.... F....

    Rather be by myself than to be with a liar!

  28. S.... ....

    This song is where Reba proves she has a voice equal to any vocalist in history.
    Truly a Classic. ;-)

  29. A.... C....

    voice without tech...we lost that.

  30. B.... O....

    So Rebas a whore or cougar??

  31. A.... M....

    Sad when you see the truth and lie to yourself ::: my life:::: and you know how much I love you

  32. N.... F....

    One of my favorite country songs

  33. s.... F....

    TRuth is always the best way to go. Know how bad it hurts

  34. s.... F....

    I think Reba divorced her husband after 26 years

  35. k.... ....

    Even the magnificent horse knows he's an asshat.

  36. D.... S....

    Also check out Reba’s you lie. https://youtu.be/5Faw065zp8k

  37. S.... L....

    I got through my divorce listening to this song and others like it! Music was really healing for me

  38. C.... W....

    I love this song and reba

  39. B.... C....

    I got my ass kicked from a horse like that! It had to go crazy horse!

  40. T.... W....

    Thank you

  41. s.... w....

    still love rebas songs

  42. M.... S....

    I'm old and crusty now but I'd fire both of their butts.  Ranch hands are a dime a dozen.  IMO he's too young for her anyway.

  43. S.... E....

    I can't stand a liar .

  44. L.... R....

    again most men lie and you end up so hurt...such lies can brake many of us women? is it the right thing to do? follow your gut and heart feelings is all I went through myself......and finally saw the truth myself.

  45. F.... B....

    My ex lied to me. In the 18 years since, 0 girlfriends. I won't let myself be lied to again, it hurt too much.

  46. T.... B....

    I been lied to and it ain't a good feeling, that's why I have trust issues quite a bit. When someone lies to me I listened to this and I just cry.

  47. S.... ....

    Bruce looks awfully good in this vid and I think he's in her Cathy's Clown.?

  48. J.... D....

    Nobody wants a sick woman bitch get out fu u piece of shit

  49. J.... D....

    I got this 0 so fu get out u piece shit
    I guess u picked a broke woman to pick on pick pickpick

  50. L.... R....

    men always lie....easiest way ouy.........cowards all of them

  51. J.... K....

    Beautiful song but TERRIBLE video! Didn't they listen to the lyrics? What has Reba's horse got to do with her man lying to her and wanting to leave her?? And in black and white? What is this, 1935?

  52. R.... W....

    <3 <3 <3

  53. R.... Z....

    Don't think it's only the ladies who feel this way....

  54. r.... ....

    This sing and still rips my face off every time I hear them country and western isn't popular here in the UK but I love her songs they really touch a nerve. She's a true artist.

  55. H.... ....

    One of those perfect storms where you had a world-class song written to perfectly match a world-class singer. One for the ages.

  56. T.... C....

    My fave Reba song!!

  57. T.... T....

    It's crap all the shit talk confusion and exposure it really upset me so much to hear how I want to leap mocking me on 103.5 it's fowl as f to mentally harm mentally Ill

  58. B.... J....

    Sad but beautiful song.

  59. A.... s....

    Leaving...

  60. M.... P....

    Number 1 who would cheat on Reba im mean come on seriously???
    Number 2 this woman doesnt age❤❤

  61. J.... C....

    Great song and video. I was researching President Trump and came across this song.

    J.... C....

    good way to sully a great song with a wimpy-leftie comment. your handle should be debbie downer, not JC.

    J.... C....

    @basebrat64 Some people say I'm liberal but I'm a moderate. Why don't you do America a service and join "Dump the Trump". Let's make America great again.

    J.... C....

    fat fucking chance JC. I'm canadian, for starters, and we have a beta male socialist for a Prime Minister, who is currently destroying the fabric and people of m great country, just like the democrats are trying in your country, along with the lunatic, violent, aggressive left. you see that CBS ad? thats your team pushing this shit. ever see an unhinged group of people on the right? at a trump rally? thats what i thought
    @Jeep Cherokee

  62. d.... s....

    This is my favorite song but it's a toss up between this one and Forever Love by Reba.

  63. J.... B....

  64. c.... ....

    I know this pain. I raised by two daughter alone while she ran off. Today I have 5 grandchildren who adore me and don’t know her. I live with the hurt but the guilt ruined her life.

    c.... ....

    bravo for you and the kids is my opinion totaly

  65. L.... R....

    how I would love to share with those that hurt me so much for several years, but guess I have to ignore that hurt again, and move on, correct? thanks Reba for this iconic song I've been signing for so many years.......still love hearing it, and knowing that I won in the end of this hurt afterall.

  66. V.... C....

  70. h.... w....

    I know how it feels to be lied to and he act like it doesn't hurt I was 16 and a baby on the way I lost my daughter because of the stess he put me under I think about her alot that's one reason I let him go so I lie to him and said no I didn't want him to know so I lie

  71. H.... J....

    I used to play this every single time my ex walked in the door!! I wanted him to know that I knew!!!

  72. D.... D....

    I’m still going through hell after three years after my divorce
    After 22 years she gave me the old I love you but I’m not in love with you
    It’s so hard to move on because of the memories I was faithful and gave her my total love and flowers cards gifts
    I tried for another year before I finally gave up
    So women it’s not only you who go through this

  73. P.... F....

    Thank You Tube ,,for all the Beautiful song ,,,,And Happy New year,,,

  74. A.... S....

    🌟🌟🌟🌟🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💚💖💚💖💚💖💚💜💚💜💚💜🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

  75. R.... G....

    They cheated on me too,many times too and it hurts ....but life goes on

  76. L.... R....

    such lying bastards shouldn't get away with this, but they always do? This song still brings hurt and tears to my eyes! Must get over it!!!

  77. S.... S....

    Dont know how else to describe this song other than Hauntingly Beautiful!

  78. M.... R....

    My God such a beautiful song...

  79. B.... M....

    Such a Gorgeous Woman inside and out. Have had the biggest crush on her.

  80. 0.... ....

    The people made admission finally. They said, " the only crime we committed was trusting and believing." That will do. Thanks people.

  81. A.... M....

    10 years and over in one day

  82. M.... H....

    Dedicated by me to Indian Joe who resides in Puget Sound. He is a Vietnam vet, and surly as hell. Half Chippewa and Italian, the greatest lover I have ever had, and he in his early 60's at the time.

    So you lie? Oh yes he did. Not about his tour of duty in Nam, but about his other gals he always had.

  83. D.... B....

    2018 anyone? I love her voice. My goodness, gives me chills!

  84. B.... B....

    It really sucks, mostly because once you finally have something good come along you have to figure out what to do. You don't want to hurt someone else and you don't want to get hurt once again. Or, am I just rambling.

  85. L.... B....

    One of my favorites! Love Reba!

  86. D.... F....

    all women lie and will cheat given the chance

  87. S.... S....

    Iris mtz :(

  88. A.... ....

    Her hair. LOL

  89. h.... m....

    yes he did

  90. g.... s....

    Oh this song hurts my heart, sing it again Reba damnit girl

  91. A.... W....

    I've been with Amber for almost a decade my wife my baby my lover also my best friend. I would give my life up rt this second for her and would kill for her but through the time we have been together the drugs and mistakes we have both made have almost fucked things up. I think she don't love me anymore and she lies not to hurt

  92. M.... ....

    I think by far that this is Reba's best song. It's beautiful, sad, heart-felt, & has so much truth in it for so many people. Unlike many of the stories & comments below, mine is a tale of what happens when a person finds the "right-man/right-woman" early on in life.
    I met my husband, Steve, when I was 18 & he was 20. We met & he asked me to marry him 2 mos later. We were engaged for 4 mos before the rings & promises of fidelity & love were vowed. This week we'll celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary, as well as my 64th birthday (we married one week after I turned 19). We've both kept our vows through the ups & downs of life, & I can't imagine my life without this man. I not only still love him w/ everything that's in me, but I still like him.....a LOT! He says he feels the same way about me.
    So, those of you have not yet found your "right" person, here's my advise, take it or leave it........It's not about finding the right person, it's about BEING the right person so that one day that special guy or gal will meet you & say to themselves, "He/she might not be perfect, but they're perfect for me." Everyone needs to work at being the best person they can be, so that when that special guy/gal sees you, he/she will recognize you as belonging to them & no one else. No one-night stands, no having sex before marriage, no lying or cheating on your own soul, because all of that baggage goes w/ you into the next relationship, & it adversely affects a bond that should never be broken by infidelity before or after marriage.

  93. H.... L....

    Men suck. Marriage is over rated..my husbands been cheating on me since we met.. I'm sure W his ex wives also. I'm also completely dependent on him and can't escape..

  94. M.... R....

    Guy im with know lieing to me hurts

  95. A.... ....

    I see all the comments saying they were in tears. So am I a heartless devil or just hard core for my own good.

  96. B.... D....

    Only one way to listen to this song, Volume all the way up with the head phones on almost to the point it hurts.....

  97. C.... W....

    Do whatever you want to its your life!

  98. S.... M....

    I just love this song

  99. S.... S....

    She's always had a beautiful voice, to go along with her beautiful heart, love her song's
