I Could Lie

I could lie before I could talk
Runaway before I could walk
I could cheat before I could play
I was gone before I could stay
I could curse before I could cry
I could sneer before I could sigh
I could want before I could need
I was awful in thought, word and deed
I could hate before I could feel
I could sell before I could steal
I could creep before I could crawl
I was big before I was small
I could curse before I could cry
I could sneer before I could sigh
I could want before I could need
I was awful in thought, word and deed
La-la-la-la-la-la…
I could lie before I could talk
Runaway before I could walk
I could cheat before I could play
I was gone before I could stay
I could hate before I could feel
I could sell before I could steal
I could creep before I could crawl
I was big before I was small
I could hurt before I could cry
I could sneer before I could sigh
I could want before I could need
I was awful in thought, word and deed
La-la-la-la-la-la…
