Question
mya father used to sing me a song that went
i showed your picture to some stranger don't you think i got no pride it's been here at home face down on a shelf lord i bet somebody lied


Answer
Hello Aaron,

That song is called "SOMEBODY LIED". It was a #1 hit for Ricky Van Shelton in 1987.


Hello, yeah this is me
Lord it's been a long long time
I know this ain't no social call
So go ahead, get it off your mind

You heard what?, well it ain't true
I was here most all last night
I got over you the day you left
Could it be somebody lied

They said what that I was cryin'
I haven't shed a tear in years
That I spoke your name, well that's insane
I've hardly noticed you're not here

I showed your picture to some stranger
Don't you think I've got no pride
They've been here at home face down on a shelf
Lord, I bet somebody lied

But if they were true, what would it matter to you
Would it change the way you feel
If the rumors were right, would you be here tonight
To help this old heart heal

Well, don't worry, it wasn't me
Just someone whose world was torn in two
Someone who looks a lot like me
And loves someone like you

Forget the tears I've never cried
Lord, I bet somebody lied


Glad to be of help. Cheers..........Mel.
