“Lips Are Movin”
By Meghan Trainor
If your lips are moving
Then you’re lying, lying, lying baby
If your lips are moving
Then you’re lying, lying, lying babe
Boy, look at me in my face
Tell me that you’re not just
About this bass
You really think
I could be replaced
Nah, I come from outer space
And I’m a classy girl
I’m gonna hold it up
You full of something
But it ain’t love
And what we’ve got
Is straight overdue
Go find somebody new
You can buy me diamond earrings
And deny
But I smell her on your collar
So goodbye, bye, bye
Chorus
I know you’re lying
‘Cause your lips are moving
Tell me do you think I’m dumb
I might be young
But I ain’t stupid
Talking round in circles
With your tongue
I gave you bass
You gave me sweet talk
Saying how I’m your number one
But I know you’re lying
‘Cause your lips are moving
Baby, don’t you know I’m done
If your lips are moving
Then you’re lying, lying, lying baby
If your lips are moving
Then you’re lying, lying, lying babe
Hey, baby, don’t you bring them tears
‘Cause it’s too late, too late baby
You only love me when you’re here
You’re so two-faced, two-faced babe
You can buy me diamond earrings
And deny
But I smell her on your collar
So goodbye
(Chorus)
