TELLING ME LIES

I previously posted a song by the trio of Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt, After the Gold Rush.  Here is my favorite song from their album entitled Trio


They say a woman's a fool for weeping
A fool to break her own heart
But I can't hold the secret I'm keeping
I'm breaking apart

Can't seem to mind my own business
Whatever I try turns out wrong
I seem like my own false witness
And I can't go on
I cover my ears, I close my eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
Telling me lies

You told me you needed my company
And I believed in your flattering ways
You told me you needed me forever
Nearly gave you the rest of my days

Should've seen you for what you are
Should never have come back for more
Should've locked up all my silver
Brought the key right to your door
I cover my ears, I close my eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
Telling me lies

You don't know what a chance is
Until you have to seize one
You don't know what a man is
Until you have to please one
Don't put your life in the hands of a man
With a face for every season
Don't waste your time in the arms of a man
Who's no stranger to treason

I cover my ears, I close my eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
Telling me lies

Am thinking you no doubt like Dolly Parton's biggest hits. Get it? (Heh heh.)

Sick One - you don't have to explain your jokes!! :-)

Speaking of women, Bruce Jenner seems to be the poster person now for “gender fluidity,” another nail in the coffin of the West. Guess that makes it safe for me to come out now. Even though on the surface I look like a white male, in mind and soul, I’m a black female.

The next thing will be species fluidity. Have always loved Frisbee, but lately have enjoyed jumping in the air and catching it with my teeth. And I can’t pass a fire hydrant without the strong urge to urinate.

Sic and LaShaneesta - both comments made me LOL. Still snickering, trying not to mess up my keyboard. One of the more interesting things about Caitlyn is that as a man, Bruce had full access to the exclusive country club in CA, including the swanky men-only dining room. Now Kaitlyn will be down the hall and to the right with the other gals in the women's dining room

Am so happy you were amused, DES. I really, really love to please people, and a little attention and appreciation go a long way.
