LA LA LIE [feat. Mayela]
- DECEPTION CONSENSUAL
- DURATION: APPROX. ONE WEEK
- REPLY WITHHELD
“I don't need the truth tonight, truth has terrible timing”
The only file in the archive where the lie is requested in advance. Both parties know it, and the knowing is almost sweeter: tell me Paris, tell me June, tell me there's a spare toothbrush waiting in your room.
Mayela carries the Spanish verses and the bridge, mentira, mentirita, sung to be danced to. The song ends with a quiet exit already planned: one night the messages will show as delivered, and nothing else will arrive.
LYRICS / TRANSCRIPT
Intro
Li-li-little lie-ie-ie-ie
(Li-li-little lie)
Verse 1: Haylie Ferguson
La-la-lie to me nicely
Say you never have to leave
Tell me I'm your favorite problem
For approximately a week
Put your phone down, let it disappear
We don't need tomorrow yet
Give me something I can misremember
Tell me that you mean it
Even if you don't
Say you'll miss me
Maybe you won't
Bad idea, excellent attitude
I can fake forever if you want me to
Pre-Chorus: Haylie Ferguson
You can text me in the morning
You can text me every night
One day you'll send another
And I just won't reply
Chorus: Haylie Ferguson
Lie-ie-ie-ie
Give me li-li-little lie-ie-ie-ie
Li-li-little lie
Tell-me-something-pre-pre-pretty
Give me li-li-little lie-ie-ie-ie
La-la-lie
Verse 2: Mayela
Miénteme bonito, pero miénteme despacio
Que la verdad siempre llega sin avisar
Dime que me quieres como quien reza sin creerlo
La boca llena y el alma en otro lugar
Ponme el nombre de otra, si te sirve
Yo me lo pongo igual
Cierra los ojos y dímelo entero
Que una mentira, bien dicha
También es un altar
Pre-Chorus: Mayela
Me escribes en la mañana
You can text me every night
Un día mandas otro, baby
And I just won't reply
Chorus: Haylie Ferguson & Mayela
Lie-ie-ie-ie
Give me li-li-little lie-ie-ie-ie
Li-li-little lie
Tell-me-something-pre-pre-pretty
Pre-pre-pretty lie
Give me li-li-little lie-ie-ie-ie
La-la-lie
Post-Chorus: Mayela
Mentira, mentirita
Dímela cantando
Que a mí me gusta más
Lo que me estás inventando
Post-Chorus: Haylie Ferguson
Tell me Paris
Tell me June
Tell me there's a spare toothbrush
Coming to your room
Post-Chorus: Mayela
Mentira, mentirita
Dímela bailando
Que mañana sin ti
Me sigo levantando
Post-Chorus: Haylie Ferguson
Tell me Sunday
Tell me soon
Tell me anything that sounds good
Over this tune
Bridge: Haylie Ferguson & Mayela
I know you're lying
(Mentira, mentirita)
You know I know
(Yo sé)
That's almost sweeter
(Ay, caramelito)
Than believing you though
Break: Haylie Ferguson
I don't need the truth tonight
Truth has terrible timing
Give me something irresponsible
Something worth misremembering
Interlude: Mayela & Haylie Ferguson
No me jures nada
Just lie...
Júrame despacio
Beautifully...
Júramelo bajito
One more time...
Chorus: Haylie Ferguson & Mayela
Lie-ie-ie-ie
Give me li-li-little lie-ie-ie-ie
Li-li-little lie
Tell-me-something-pre-pre-pretty
Pre-pre-pretty lie
Give me li-li-little lie-ie-ie-ie
La-la-lie
Verse 3: Haylie Ferguson
You're convincing, I'm consenting
Let's not make it complicated
I look better when pretending
You look better overstated
You can keep on sending messages
I'll probably answer for a while
Then one night you'll see "delivered"
And nothing else arrives...
Chorus: Haylie Ferguson & Mayela
(Mentira, mentirita)
Li-li-little lie-ie-ie-ie
Mentira, mentirita
(Li-li-little lie-ie-ie-ie)
One more pretty lie
(Mentira, mentirita)
One more time
You don't have to love me
You just have to lie
Beautifully enough
To get us through the night
Outro: Mayela
Miénteme bonito
Outro: Haylie Ferguson
And when I stop replying
You can tell yourself I tried
