lyrics

You set me up for a big surprise
To fill your cup with a taste less bitter
You sold it all for a big fat lie
You sold it all, now you're getting thinner

Well here comes a devil dressed up in disguise
You should have known it was a big fat lie
You should've known
You should've known

You should've read between the lines
You should've recognized the signs
You should've left well enough alone
You should've known
Yeah you should've known

You should've known it was a big fat lie
You should've known it was a big fat lie
You should've known it was a big fat lie

A taste is never enough
A taste is never enough
A taste is never enough for me

Hey, I wouldn't follow in your footsteps
I wouldn't wallow in your weakness for providence again

Hey, yeah, I wouldn't follow in your footsteps
I wouldn't wallow in your weakness for providence again

When I see it was a big fat lie
When I see it was a big fat lie
When I see it was a big fat lie
When I see it was a big fat lie
