Lie About Us Lyrics

[Intro: Avant]
Ooh, whoa
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1: Avant]
Baby, I know
When we started out there was things you didn't know
But baby girl, we got a lot of things we need to discuss
I know I'm asking for a lot, but just trust
You say that things getting old
Sneakin' 'round, creepin' and love on the low
Now baby girl, I can't wait 'til it's officially us
I can't wait to let them know about us

[Pre-Chorus: Nicole Scherzinger and Avant]
At first I thought that I could take it boy, but I don't know (I don't know)
You told me you were gonna leave her for me long ago (Long ago)

Eventually I will, but I just gotta take it slow
Don't wanna break her heart, although I gotta let her go, so baby


[Chorus: Avant]
So please don't say you wanna give up
How do I tell her that I'm falling in love?
And I know you're waiting patiently for that day
When we no longer have to lie about us
When I'm with her, all I want is your touch
And when you call me, I don't wanna hang up
And I know I say it often but I can't wait
'Til we no longer have to lie about us
[Verse 2: Avant]
Baby, I know
The situation don't seem fair to us both
But baby girl
, she's an issue that I'm 'bout to adjust
Don't mistake the love we make for just lust
You are my soul (Mind, body, spirit)
All that I know
But baby girl, I can't wait till it's officially us
I can't wait to tell the world about us

[Pre-Chorus: Nicole Scherzinger and Avant]
At first I thought that I could take it boy, but I don't know (I don't know)
You told me you were gonna leave her for me long ago (Long ago)
Eventually I will, but I just gotta take it slow
Don't wanna break her heart, although I've gotta let her go, so baby


[Chorus: Avant]
So please don't say you wanna give up (Please don't say)
How do I tell her that I'm falling in love? (Ooh whoa)
And I know you're waiting patiently for that day
When we no longer have to lie about us (No longer have to lie)
When I'm with her, all I want is your touch (Ooh whoa oh)
And when you call me, I don't wanna hang up (Baby, you don't)
And I know I said it often but I can't wait
'Til we no longer have to lie about us
[Bridge: Avant and Nicole Scherzinger]
Baby, won't you wait (Just a little bit)
For (Just a little bit)
Me (Just a little bit longer, longer)
Wait (Just a little bit)
For (Just a little bit)
Me (Just a little bit longer, longer)
I want you to wait (Just a little bit)
For (Baby, just a little) (Just a little bit)
Me (Just a little bit) (Just a little bit longer, longer)
Wait (Oh) (Just a little bit)
For (Yeah) (Just a little bit)
Me (Just a little bit longer, longer)

[Chorus: Avant]
Baby, so please don't say you wanna give up
How do I tell her that I'm falling in love? (How do I tell my baby?)
And I know you're waiting patiently for that day
When we no longer have to lie about us (No longer have to lie about us)
When I'm with her, all I want is your touch (Ooh baby)
And when you call me, I don't wanna hang up (Ooh-ooh whoa oh)
And I know I say it often, but I can't wait 'til we no longer have to lie about us (No longer have to lie)

So please don't say you wanna give up (Don't say it)
How do I tell her that I'm fallen in love? (How do I tell my baby?)
And I know you're waiting patiently for that day
When we no longer have to lie about us (Whoa oh oh)
When I'm with her, all I want is your touch (Ooh)
And when you call me, I don't wanna hang up (Ooh ooh ooh)
And I know I say it often but I can't wait 'til we no longer have to lie about us
[Bridge: Avant, Nicole Scherzinger, Both]
Baby won't you wait (Just a little bit)
(Just a little bit)
Baby, baby, oh, oh, whoa (Just a little bit longer)
(Just a little bit)
(Just a little bit)
(Just a little bit longer) Baby, I'ma wait a bit
(Just a little bit) Ooh, whoa
(Just a little bit)
I'm waiting just a little bit longer
Will you wait, yeah (Just a little bit)
(Just a little bit)
(Just a little bit longer)

[Outro: Avant]
Just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit
Just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
