美國鄉村樂天后［桃莉．芭頓］──鄉村／民謠／藍草抒情曲──［A Tender Lie／溫柔的謊言］

As you walk away
As we say good-bye
What I wouldnt give
For a tender lie

Say youll never stop loving me
Just as if it were true
How much more damage now honestly
Could one tender lie do?

When we fall so far
Are we wrong to try?
To keep out the truth
With a tender lie

Say youre gonna come back to me
And Ill believe that its true
How much more damage now honestly
Could one tender lie do?

Say youre gonna come back to me
And Ill believe that its true
How much more damage now honestly
Could one tender lie do?

How much more damage now honestly
Could one tender lie do?
