What are the lyrics to Johnnie Taylor running out of lies?
I'm tired of lying, peeping and hiding And low class places Oh
I'm so tired, baby I'm tired of worrying, whenever I come home late
With your lipstick traces Oh yes I am, babe You can rest assured my
woman's no fool She can tell I been loving you Stealing your love
is getting harder and harder The excuses I been giving just won't
hold water I'm running out of lies Getting hard to think of an
alibi Running out of lies Getting hard to think of an alibi Please
say goodbye I've got too many alibis Oh yes I do I'm spreading
myself a little too thin Trying to do the job of too many men You
can rest assured my woman's no fool She can tell just as good I
been loving you Stealing your love is getting harder and harder The
excuses I been giving just won't hold water I'm running out of lies
Getting hard to think of an alibi Running out of lies Getting hard
to think of an alibi No my woman ain't no fool, y'all She can tell
just as good that I been out with somebody else You know a lot of
times I don't wanna talk about it I try, I try to get it off of my
mind But then my conscience, you know everybody got a conscience My
conscience get to bothering me And when I try to go to sleep at
night Seem like to me I can hear my conscience say "Johnnie you
oughta be ashamed of yourself you know you got a good woman and you
oughta treat her right." I made a deal with my conscience That if
my conscience didn't bother me I sure wouldn't bother my conscience
But every now and then it comes around to me and tells me "Johnnie
you know you been wrong, yes you have." A lot of fellas out there
been wrong You oughta go to your baby and tell her honey oh I'm
sorry for taking you through all of these changes. I'm sorry baby.
I'm sorry that I did you wrong. I'm sorry I broke your heart baby
And it seem like to me I'm running out of lies It's getting hard to
think of an alibi (Fade out) Hope that helps!
