Written by George Jones and Jack Ripley Just a few of my favorite lies . . . Lately I don't even miss her Yes it's true, out of sight and out of mind All my love, yesterday, it has faded away I'd be lonely if I could find the time Helped her open the door when she left me All I said was good luck and goodbye Now at last I am free like I've wanted to be These are a few of my favorite lies I'm surprised I'm still talking about her For I can stop any time, and I will But if you feel like asking me questions Well I have more lies I'm dying to tell There's no room in my heart now for sadness I've completely forgot how to cry If she came back today I would turn her away These are a few of my favorite lies Just of my favorite lies
