Palmer, Robert - Sweet Lies Lyrics






We tell sweet lies, fooling one another
(We gain a fake upper hand)
We get outsmarted when we rediscover
We underplay

You took me in – I never minded
You broke the rules – I saw through you then

What a surprise when we turn into lovers!
(The tables turn on us)
All those sweet lies tear away the covers
And now we know not to underestimate
What hearts can do
You keep an eye on me
I'll keep an eye on you

You took me in – I never minded
You broke the rules – I saw through you then

What a surprise when we turn into lovers!
(We never guessed it could be)
All those sweet lies tear away the covers
The tables turn

    my favorite song by him, very under rated, classic!

  2. L.... N....

    He was so delicious back then

    L.... N....

    Very❤

  3. U.... ....

    The film featured in the video is the same titled "Sweet Lies", entirely shot in Paris but entirely English-spoken, one of the oddities of a giant turkey that's worth a look for a good laugh !

    U.... ....

    Any idea who the model(s) are in the video?

  4. M.... P....

    I´ve always loved this song, thank you for sharing this cool video. I had never paid close attention to the lyrics till now, they seem so true to life, specially if you've had some life experience that reflects those feelings.

  5. K.... B....

    Great voice and sexy.

  6. m.... ....

    M.... A....

    Yeah, Rob Palmer is an awesome artist! I love his songs, especially Addicted to Love and Simply Irresistible.

    M.... A....

    Just discovered this. I’m obsessed. What a man.

  8. B.... ....

    Very handsome and great artist. I'm always thinking he was looking a bit like Marcello Mastroianni.

    B.... ....

    Yes, I can see that. Both handsome guys in their way.

    B.... ....

    you like old chain smokers ?

    B.... ....

    bonnie bianco If you are referring to Robert Palmer or Marcello Mastroianni as "old chain smokers" the answer is hell yes. Your time will come. Wait until someone questions your taste of someone you think of as handsome... but then will millions of others, both women and men of all ages, agree with you?! Grow up.

  9. T.... ....

    PHWOARRR....Robert Palmer was such HOT property. No wonder the woman in the video looks like she's desperate.
