I Never Lie – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a powerful tool, and Zach Top's “I Never Lie” offers a fantastic lesson in sarcasm, subtext, and irony—key elements of everyday English. The song's clever wordplay and classic country storytelling make it a special and engaging way to understand how words can convey a meaning completely opposite to their literal definition, all while enjoying a modern throwback to 90s country music.

[English]

Well it’s been some time You still look like an angel 

I heard you’re doin’ fine Got promoted back in April 

And you met someone your dad says he’s okay 

Well I’ve never been better  things are goin’ my way

I sleep like a baby I never show up late for work I don’t drink whiskey I don’t  

know how it feels to hurt Oh and I ain’t been lonely since you said goodbye 

Wish I could say I miss you  but you know I never lie

Yeah I met somebody too She’s a model out in L.A. 

And she’s beggin’ me to move She says Malibu is really great 

I ain’t decided if I’m goin’ or  not but at the end of the day

I sleep like a baby I never show up late for work I don’t drink whiskey  

I don’t know how it feels to hurt Oh and I ain’t been lonely since you said goodbye 

Wish I could say I miss you  but you know I never lie

Yeah I’ve never been better  things are goin’ my way

I sleep like a baby I never show up late for work Oh and I don’t drink whiskey  

I don’t know how it feels to hurt Oh and I ain’t been lonely since you said goodbye 

Wish I could say I miss you  oh but you know I never lie
