Streisand, Barbra - Don't Lie To Me Lyrics






Why can't you just tell me the truth?
Hard to believe the things you say
Why can't you feel the tears I cried today
Cried today, cried today

How do you win if we all lose?
You change the facts to justify
Your lips move but your words get in the way
In the way, in the way

Kings and Queens, crooks and thieves
You don't see the forest for the trees
Head and heart, on our knees
You can't see what we all see

How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?
All that we built has come undone
How do you sleep when the world is burning?
Everyone answers to someone

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me

You can build towers of bronze and gold
You can build castles in the sky
You can use smoke and mirrors, all clichés
Not today, not today

Kings and Queens, crooks and thieves
You don't see the forest for the trees
Hand and heart, down on knees
You can't see what everyone see

How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?
All that we built has come undone
How do you sleep when the world is burning?
Everyone answers to someone

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me

Can't you see I'm crying?
Can't you see we're crying?
Where's the new horizon?
Where's the new horizon?

How do you sleep?
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep?
(How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?)
How do you sleep?
(All that we built has come undone)
Enough is enough
(How do you sleep when the world is burning?)
How do you sleep?
(Everyone answers to someone)

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me

Can't you see I'm crying?
(Can't you see we're crying?)
Can't you see we're crying?
Everyone answers to someone

Streisand, Barbra Don't Lie To Me Comments
  1. f.... f....

    He sleeps because he's a sociopath. No conscience=No anxiety or self questioning.

  2. M.... L....

    POWERFUL!! Thank you Ms. Streisand!!

  3. D.... P....

    No Alla Violenza

  4. D.... P....

    Grazie Barbra Nei Muri C'è Sangue

  5. N.... D....

    I am up loading to Facebook as a reminder of what impeachment and removal mean in the wake of your outstanding video

  6. t.... f....

    Babs you always sing the truth, your truth you own. Perhaps this collection will drop some scales from some eyes. We do all have to answer to someone. Been a fan since YOU were 18 or so....

  7. P.... S....

    I´m from Finland and I am scared what Mr Trump is capable of!!!! I find that his presidency for him is just another TV program he´s is in charge of!! Why on earth was he elected to be the president of U.S of A?? PLEEEEEESE don´t make that same BIG MISTAKE EVER AGAIN!! I´m begging you, people!!!

  8. G.... ....

    I love this video's message and how much of an impact it SHOULD make. My best scene is where the lie detector scribble becomes Trumps signature. Give me a thumbs up if you agree!

  9. D.... T....

    This song should be on any network or radio. I thank the planets that she did this commentary as only she could.

  10. R.... ....

    When "Walls" was released, my wife and I bought about ten copies to share with family and friends. I grew up listening to Barbra's earliest albums and still have many of them (though my turntable no longer works!) in my collection. As much as I'm sad for this country to have a president and Republican party who care so little for truth and democracy, I'm proud of Barbra and all the other artists who stand up for what is right.
    Great video, Barbra!

  11. M.... Y....

    Mrs. Streisand. This song is true very true But more true is Jesus that is going to protect us of DON'T LIE TO ME. VERY POWERFUL SONG THANK YOU TO LET THE WORLD KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN WORLD. Matthew Cp 6 v24

    No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other , or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye can't serve GOD and MAMMON.

    Matthew cp 6 v 25

    Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your lift what te shall eat, or what ye shall drink, nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat,and the body then raiment?

    Verse 25

    Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into burns, yet your HEAVENLY FATHER FEEDETH THEM. ARE YE NOT MUCH BETTER THAN THEY. AMEN TO JESUS AND JEHOVA .

  12. C.... ....

    She’s so fucking stupid she fails to get Trump has backed the Jewish population and Israel unlike the party that she supports which has a lot of anti semitism. So, even as a Jew she’ll say nothing about that.

  13. e.... ....

    It reminded me of this song in many ways (1997)
    Australia today, by the way... (Jan-2020)

  14. d.... ....

    Happy New Year 2020. Love this, Barbara Streisand is a genius, such a beautiful and moving tribute to our Country, our Constitution, the value of truth and honesty. I have one question though, is there an extended version of this beautiful work of art?

    d.... ....

    dianesunny204 Happy New Year!

  15. B.... Z....

    well timed due to the crazy things in USA politics.

  16. L.... M....

    She was courageous to decide to do this song. Seems like any time an entertainer decides to veer away from just singing love songs it raises eyebrows.

  17. J.... ....

    there's a reason this album, unlike her others, spent only one week in the top 50.... talk about obsessed with losing an election.....

  18. M.... L....

    Impeachment is here

  19. F.... ....

    Blessings Prayers and Love to you...... earth angel......!!

  20. S.... M....

    Hey Barbara, thanks for this song 💋

  21. S.... S....

    I frankly do not know who to trust anymore😢💔❣as my own father had told me on his death bed that he paid a Judge & 2 Lawyers to have the Deed to my Only Home lifted then burned & rewritten so that it would look like my home was Deeded to him after my Mother died, as a result I lost my Home, & I had no proof it was mine😢💗💔❣😭I need a hug, a Prayer, & a miracle. My dying wish is to see my favorite Singer of all time Barbra Streisand & her Husband & travel with them to see my Cousin Prince William & Harry my 19th Cousins.

    Debora Nice Herlein😢💗💔❣

  22. U.... ....

    Wow. Very Powerful Message. Please VOTE.

  23. D.... T....

    I cannot believe the anger and hate that from the mouth of the man that wants to be BE A CZAR has cast on us. Some nights I don't sleep wondering how close his finger is to the launch pads while one of his good buddies has just silenced the men that guard them. Dear Ms. Streisand, you have brought me thru two rounds of cancer, the loss of my partner and the most important decision I have ever made. Your gifts, your hope, you...are inspirations to me.

  24. A.... C....

    i have always admired Barbra Streisand, though more for her political activism as opposed to her artistry. This song by 'Babs' is a nexus between her artistry and her political activism.

  25. J.... -....

    Powerful song!

  26. B.... S....

    SÅ FINT

  27. I.... w....

    You've got the guts! <3

  28. S.... A....

    These people are deluded. She actually wrote produced and directed and starred in YENTL playing a teenager at 45. That says it all!

  29. S.... A....

    Give me the sick bucket!

  30. b.... O....

    Amazing that you can write the words that's in our hearts and soul. Everything you've said/sang is now part of our collective history ...you fight the fight with grace and dignity!

  31. W.... U....

    Hello Barbra ! Proud here to promote the somptuous album "Walls " on our pages. We wish you all the best for the Grammy Awards next January! The official video was shared on the Facebook Page of WUD this morning once again. Friendly, EdC - www.whatsupdoc.fr, site français et pages dédiés à/french website and pages dedicated to/Barbra Streisand

  32. A.... ....

    Bravo!! Thank you!

  33. l.... ....

    I loved her LOOOOOOONG before I ever knew of her politics!!!!! Knowing she's a Trump hater makes me love her that much more!!!!!

  34. T.... M....

    Great singer, just not that bright.

    Thanks for this great song and production. With some thirteen thousand lies and counting, the clear path to relief is public pressure. Resistance is increasing at fundraising dinners, hate rallies, town squares and even baseball games.

    Soon, Congress will show how co-equal it is - or isn't. Just as pressure won elections, pressure will move Members of Congress to lie or to be truthful. Don't hesitate - call your Members of Congress today. Tell them to support impeachment and removal tomorrow: www.callmycongress.com

    Dear Ms. Streisand, I recently lost my beautiful Tuxedo Cat. When this song was released, I would play it every morning and sing with you. Zoey, my cat, adored your music as much as I do. She left this earth, no longer in pain and with a memory of music from one of the worlds most renowned artists. I just want to thank you. This is one of the most powerful songs I have ever heard. Take care, God Bless.

    Barbara Streisand has a net worth of 400 million. She is the only queen and king as depicted in her commercialized video. Why doesn't she donate her vast wealth along with her other opinionated Jewish compatriots?

    P.... W....

    The amount of money she has already donated is enormous. Don't tell people what they should do with their money.

  40. m.... r....

    But Mandela was no Christ nor even Gandhi nor Martin Luther King. He was for decades a man of violence. In 1961, he broke with African National Congress colleagues who preached non-violence, creating a terrorist wing.
    He later pleaded guilty in court to acts of public violence, and behind bars sanctioned more, including the 1983 Church St car bomb that killed 19 people.
    Mandela even suggested cutting off the noses of blacks deemed collaborators. His then wife Winnie advocated "necklacing" instead - a burning tyre around the neck.

  41. H.... T....

    I love it! Thanks Barbra Streisand.

  42. E.... ....

    She is mentally ill. She just posted a picture of Donald Trump murdered under the heels of Nancy Pelosi, who is part of the progressive liberal movement of the last 3 years to lie to people, slander Trump, and destroy a good and decent man. Trump Derangement Syndrome has driven the evil demonically controlled progressive liberals mad. Abandon evil Democrats, and heal your mind, and heal your nation. The Democrats are ripping this nation apart because of their great wickedness that they are committing. Stop your evildoing Democrats.

    E.... ....

    Grabbing women by their xoxoxo is very decent. Mocking disabled people is very decent. Paying off porn stars to keep quiet is very decent. Boy are you delusional.

  43. P.... E....

    This song is about cnn, msnbc, and all the rest of the left news and media I guess... right?
    Stop crying, and be realistic.
    This song puts me to sleep.
    I think Barbra is best as Mother Focker... Great movie!!

  44. S.... G....

    This is fitting for every move that is being made today...

  45. A.... E....

    ME DUELE RESPIRAR EL ODIO QUE EMANAN LOS QUE PELEAN POR PODER!

  46. s.... s....

    It is not just him, the UN and all presidents are lieing , it is the rush to instale the NWO, can't you SEE??? don't blame just one man

  47. c.... e....

    i hate this song

  48. S.... D....

    Impeach Donald trump!!!

  49. H.... g....

    Hi Barbara, is the deep state blackmailing you with that old black and white skinflick you made so you'll turn on your president like this?

  50. M.... M....

    Quel talent mrs streisand

  51. F.... A....

    This song should be you against trump for his impeachment that guy needs to get out of the Oval Office

  52. P.... B....

    Today September 22, 2019, the lyrics have the same meaning and more! Sad day in American!

  53. N.... Y....

    Donald Trump the no good President

  54. D.... N....

    👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤

  55. D.... Y....

    Dear Barbra I'm am 22 yrs younger than my father who I have the greatest respect for! We don't always see I to I on a lot of things.Especially the arts and music. I love Aretha, Celine, Gladys's Elton, and a few more. I ask my father who he thought was the best female singer of all time, and Dad said that you were the best of the century! And after starting to listen and watch your movies and Music I have to say my dad is write! Thanks for this wonderful song and you are write on the money we are starting to lose everything so many have work for. God help us! We don't have a democracy it's all about who can bye who and money and power! And we are killing are planet!

  56. A.... A....

    Does anybody know bill gates liked this song 🤔🧐🤓

  57. J.... L....

    ¡Wow! So Amazing! I also wrote a song before ever hearing this one called "Tell Me, Can you sleep at night"

  58. B.... ....

    Although this song is an incredibly stunning, brilliant and compelling work of art, it is disturbingly sad that we live in a day and age of today’s horrendous politics and government that this song vividly reflects. The lyrics as they are would make for a great song, even if they indirectly referred to something else altogether, like something deeply personal. Instead, a rarely used direct message is the approach here

  59. W.... W....

    Lord.. Save Us 😥

  60. A.... W....

    Somebody is going to lose what little mind he has left!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂What a great performance 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

  61. K.... A....

    I can't actually believe that Bill Gates liked this video

  62. t.... h....

    I love it! Magnificent protest song on behalf of freedoms which true to say are the only chance for humanity to go on. At the same time climate change needs to be addressed, nations of the world united for the best of our home, Earth.

  63. C.... R....

    You are amazing..i have listened to you for years ❤

  67. D.... A....

    Just a bit of time...he will past soon

  68. S.... A....

    You sing very pretty

  69. T.... M....

    Well done! So clearly expresses the complete and constant dishonesty of trump. And the refusal of trump supporters and his enablers to make him accountable, in any way, for his blatant and purposeful lack of integrity is a disgrace of epic proportions. To keep ignoring his lies or cover up for his lies makes them complicit.

  70. R.... ....

    You still haven't gotten over 2016 have you. You have become a bitter, political , divisive liar and that saddened's me. 5 more years Barbra and I'm not crying.

  71. J.... S....

    If this is a game to u then let s keep playing the game tonight and tomorrow what do think Scottish? Judy Sherry and I love the game! Judy

  72. K.... R....

    WOW WOW WOW. I am so impressed with Barbra's song. Brilliant. So beautiful. So poignant. So on target. If anyone could express the world's horror and frustration with the monster that is Donald Trump, Barbra has done it. And made us all want to cry, as she says. What can we do about this terrible situation. Hopefully, millions and millions will listen to her song and react!
    Thank you Barbra Streisand, you have done something miraculous!

  73. c.... ....

    The left puts Joseph Goebbels to shame now a days

  74. M.... T....

    I just love the video, it is wonderful... we need to use it during the campaign to help our democrat winner.

  75. M.... ....

    Isn't this the same woman who tried to ban people form enjoying the beach near her house?
    Why doesn't Babs take some of the immigrants into one of her many mansions? Lots of spare room there...

  76. C.... m....

    I love you Barbra Streisand. Lovely song of truth.i was filled with goose bumps has I listen

  77. E.... L....

  89. M.... E....

    Wonderful song, thank you.

    The most ignorant bunch of propaganda in one song I've ever seen

  91. J.... J....

    It takes a true leader to share truth openly and honestly. Mrs Streisand, you truly are a genuine leader that the world needs more of. Thank you!

    J.... J....

    She's Mrs. Brolin

  92. s.... e....

    Terrible song.

  95. A.... e....

    Mi respeto a esta diva que tiene mi corazón desde hace muchos años. Creo que es hora que los estadounidenses se levanten ante un tipo como este que está mal de la cabeza. No se dan cuenta que esto que está pasando en su país es una locura tras otra.....despierten ya, la gente tiene que ayudarse no escacharse.

  96. J.... B....

    WMD Intel, "justifying" the invasion of Iraq, was fabricated by Israeli Intel, and Bibi led the Pony and Dog Show in front of CONNED-gress, as he performs the Iranian narrative now??? How do you sleep?
