Have you ever had the feeling like people were talking bad about you behind your back. Making up stuff to make you look bad or them to look good? Paranoid? Maybe... Then again maybe not... Here's the video for the song of the same name. Enjoy...

Tellin' Lies
By Ted Lehman (ASCAP) Copyright © 2012

What ever happened
so long ago
Time to get over it
don't you know

telling lies
to make yourself look good
feeding the gossip
in the neighborhood

you're not happy
without a dog to kick
when the truth don't work
you do something sick

you're always sneaking
round behind my back
doing me damage
playing me for a sap

exactly what you're telling
no one will say
exactly what you're selling
will come out some day

the truth will be told
when you're dead and gone
everyone will know
that you been doing me wrong

the world is getting smaller
your lies are getting taller
hurting me won't make you a star
hitting me when I'm down
might work for you now
in the long run it won't get you far

stop telling lies about me
stop making up stories
that should not be believed
stop telling lies about me
why don't you just leave me alone
why don't you just go back home

Review:
Great Stuff - forget the tom jones comparisons - he couldnt write a song like that (although he'd probably cover it if you sent it to him!)
I love the simple message in this - i'm gonna have that line 'stop telling about me' bouncing around in my head now for the weekend...

what i like about what you do is that you sing with conviction and with just a hint of fun and mischief - all in all - very accomplished - you can't beat a bit of experience...and of course the simplicity.
