Question
ive been trying to find a song.i know some of the lyrics.they are what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceave they say theres no such thing as a perfect lie.another part is next morning at the office his secretary kissed him and thanked him for the pretty diamond ring

Answer
Hi Maxwell101!  I didn't find a song that matched your lyrics exactly, but I found one that came pretty close.  Gerard Kenny wrote and recorded a song called "The Other Woman, The Other Man," and it matches up pretty closely with the lyrics you asked about.  Here it is!  Hope this helps!

Artist: Gerard Kenny
Album: The Music Of Gerard Kenny (1984)
Song Title: The Other Woman, The Other Man

Lyrics:

Oh what a tangled web we weave
When we practice to deceive
We play our games and tell our lies
And synchronize our alibis

They say forbidden fruit tastes sweeter
It's precious and so rare
It's heaven when you taste it
And it's hell when it's not there
I don't see you when I want to
You only see me when you can
'Cause you're the other woman
And I'm the other man

May be wrong, but it feels so right
Lying here in the candlelight
A secret place for you and me
And nowhere else we'd rather be

They say forbidden fruit tastes sweeter
It's precious and so rare
It's heaven when you taste it
And it's hell when it's not there
I don't see you when I want to
You only see me when you can
'Cause you're the other woman
And I'm the other man

It's paradise but we pay the price
'Cause ecstasy doesn't come free
I don't see you when I want to
And you only see me when you can
'Cause you're the other woman
And I'm the other . . .

Oh, what a tangled web we weave
When we practice to deceive

Expertise

I can answer just about any question about lyrics or the artists who recorded the songs--80s and 90s country especially. I don't watch many new videos, but the older the video question, the more likely I am to be able to answer it.

Experience

I've been a country music fan for all of my 20+ years! I somehow have a knack for being able to remember all the words to all the songs (and who sang them for the most part) even though I can't carry a tune to save my life!

Education/Credentials
Juris Doctor. (So if I can't remember an answer off the top of my head, I have the research skills to figure it out!)
