Little Lies
Fleetwood Mac · 1987
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- Tell me, tell me lies
- Oh no-no, you can't disguise
- You can't disguise
- No, you can't disguise
Echo the hook
- If I could turn the page
- In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two
- Close my, close my, close my eyes
- But I couldn't find a way
