Ryan Leslie and Fabolous - Beautiful Lie

Tell you somethin' you don't know

Uh, I just tell 'em what they wanna hear
Soon as you don't give a fuck, that's when they wanna care
She say the truth is overrated like underwear
And if the shoe fits, she want a pair
Yeah, I tell you somethin' that you don't know
'Cause if you don't water plants, then they won't grow
I drop jewels, she pick 'em up then kick 'em up
Legs in the air and give it to me, stick 'em up
Tell me it's mine, tell me it's mine
Biggest lie in the world is, yeah, baby, I'm fine
Yeah, maybe I'm lying, but I am fly
Say they see me in some Trues, that's a goddamn lie, uh
Louis V, Balmain if I call names
Game time, uniform, no ball game
Beautiful lies look as good as they sound
Toast to those in the box 'cause they couldn't be 'round, nice (uh)

And if you're feelin' how I'm feelin', put your hand to the sky (so unforgettable)
'Cause we only gon' get this moment one chance in our lives (once in a lifetime proposition, baby)
And we all wanna believe in a beautiful lie
A beautiful lie

Yeah, she a tiger in a skirt, yeah, she want play
Rottweiler on my shirt, that's Givenchy
In them YSL heels, she'll stab the pavement
A see-through top, that's a fashion statement, uh
You a classy girl, but when I get them lights out, goddamn, you a nasty girl
Janet Jackson in my two room suite
Anytime, anyplace, no control when we ruin these sheets
Where my pretty girls at? My two-door coupe
Will fit a couple in the back, baby voulez-vous
Coucher avec the kid, we'll say that we didn't
'Til your girl's curiosity killed your kitten, yeah
Only problem is the paparazzi
Caught you outside my hotel tellin' me grazie
Armani casa sheets and the tubs Versace
The whole world loves to watch me
I just can't help it
You know what I mean, Fab?

And if you're feelin' how I'm feelin', put your hand to the sky (ah, Les')
'Cause we only gon' get this moment one chance in our lives (and we all)
And we all wanna believe in a beautiful lie (we just need something to believe in)
A beautiful lie (yeah)
