Terri Clark, Blog 5 by Kristen Shannon




Her sister’s sick, she’s gotta baby-sit
Yeah, that sounds like a pretty good excuse

Now you didn’t hear any of this from me
But things aren’t always what they seem
Brace yourself, this may come as a shock to you

Girls lie, too
We don’t care how much money you make
What you drive or what you weigh
Size don’t matter anyway
Girls lie, too
Don’t think you’re the only ones
Who bend and break and stretch it some
We learn from you
Girls lie, too

We can’t wait to hear about your round of golf
We love to see deer heads hanging on the wall
And we like Hooter’s for their hotwings too
Other guys never cross our minds
We don’t wonder what it might be like
How could it be any better than it is with you

Girls lie, too
We don’t care how much money you make
What you drive or what you weigh
Size don’t matter anyway
Girls lie, too
Don’t think you’re the only ones
Who bend and break and stretch it some
We learn from you
Girls lie, too

Yeah, girls lie, too
We always forgive and forget
The cards and flowers you never sent
Will never be brought up again
Girls lie, too
Old gray sweatpants turn us on
We like your friends and we love your mom
And that's the truth
Girls lie, too
Yeah that’s the truth
Girls lie, too

[No, we don’t care how much hair you have
Yeah, that looks good
Comb it over like that
Rrrrrrrrrrr...

Even before we had this assignment to do I have always loved this song just for humor alone. It has been said throughout history that men are always blowing women off, and lying and making excuses for themselves. This song not only speaks to women but gives men a shot at the truth. Women have become stronger and more stable alone. Today a women is not in need of a man they are completely capable of creating and maintaining happiness for themselves. In this song it allows men to understand that women are just the same at times. That is it possible for women to lie too, to exaggerate the truth to make them feel better, that they are the one and only, and that the little things they do mean the world to them. The music video for this song does not represent the true meaning of the song. I have found this song to be a great anthem for women when having girls night or when angry with their fella'. This is a song to let men and boys beware, now instead of spending your days and nights wondering what you will say to not hurt our feelings you may now take that time and wonder if we have just spared your feelings with an innocent white lie!:)
