You always got a story for where you’ve been,
Little twists and turns every time you walk in.
Nothing ever simple, it’s a whole disguise,
Here we go again, just some more lies!
Running late again with a brand new excuse,
Same old pattern, just a different use.
Every word polished, but it’s paper thin,
The truth took off and won’t be back again!
(Chorus)
Pinocchio, baby, what’s it gonna be?
Truth so simple, but you twist it on me.
Every little question turns into a show,
With your nose getting longer every time you go!
You make it sound smooth, you play it just right,
But the details don’t match when you say them twice.
Got a talent for stretching what don’t need to bend,
Every sentence you drop gotta loop at the end!
It’s a show every time when you open your mouth,
Got the north turning west, and then you head south.
If honesty’s simple, then why all the flair?
Why’s there always a story floating in the air?
(Chorus)
Pinocchio, baby, I’m tired of the games,
Different night, same story, just a change of names.
You can dress it up, but I already know,
Your God-given name should have been PINOCCHIO!
I don’t need a movie, don’t need all that spin,
Just a real straight answer every now and then.
So leave all the fiction, let reality come through,
Hey Pinocchio baby… I just want the truth!
(Bridge)
If lies were money, we’d be living in gold,
Every tale you tell just gets bigger and bold.
You should write a book, yeah, you’d sell out the shelves,
“Fairy Tales and Fiction… starring you and yourself”!
(Chorus)
Pinocchio, baby, what’s it gonna be?
Truth so simple, but you twist it on me.
Every little question turns into a show,
With your nose getting longer every time you go!
Pinocchio, baby, I’m tired of the games,
Different night, same story, just a change of names.
You can dress it up, but I already know,
Your God-given name should have been PINOCCHIO!
