Hey
[Verse 1: Avril Lavigne]
You tell me what I want, what I wanna hear
Make me believe in magic, then disappear
You got a sharp tongue like a razor blade
You put a knife into my back and try to write your name
[Pre-Chorus: Avril Lavigne]
So tell me why you
You never tell the truth?
[Chorus: Avril Lavigne]
Bois lie, I can too
Revenge is my sweet tooth
Girls cry and so will you
'Cause bois lie, bois lie
[Verse 2: Machine Gun Kelly, Machine Gun Kelly & Avril Lavigne]
Yeah, so tell me why, why you tell your friends
I'm the bad guy when you're the villain? (Yeah)
I worshipped your religion (Uh)
I was faithful, you wеre the one who sinnеd, damn
[Pre-Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly & Avril Lavigne, Avril Lavigne]
So tell me why you
You never tell the truth? (You never tell the truth)
Bois lie, I can too
Revenge is my sweet tooth
Girls cry and so will you
'Cause bois lie, bois lie
[Post-Chorus: Avril Lavigne & Machine Gun Kelly]
La, la-la, la, la, la, la, liar
La, la-la, la, la, la, la, bois lie
La, la-la, la, la, la, la, liar
La, la-la, la, la, la
[Bridge: Machine Gun Kelly, Avril Lavigne]
I've heard your little story
And you talk way too much
Why don't you say "I'm sorry"?
Is it askin' way too much?
Okay, I'm losing all my patience
God, you make me anxious
I don't do that fake shit
Say it to my face then
I threw it all away again last night
So why don't you just look me in the eyes and say
[Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly, Machine Gun Kelly & Avril Lavigne]
Girls lie, I can too
Revenge is my sweet tooth
Bois cry and so will you
Bois lie and girls lie too
La, la-la, la, la, la, la, liar
La, la-la, la, la, la, la, bois lie
La, la-la, la, la, la, la, liar
La, la-la, la, la, la, but girls lie too
La, la-la, la, la, la, la, bois lie
La, la-la, la, la, la, but girls lie too
La, la-la, la, la, la, la, yeah, bois lie
La, la-la, la, la, la, la, but girls lie too
