The band Yello has a great song called “Of course I’m lying” on their 1990 album “Flag”. Here are (at least) the lyrics:

Her name was Julie
When she took me on a ride in her old Chevrolet
Straight into a dusty sundown
I knew she was gonna make up one of her stories
And then she couldn’t believe that I told her
How much I love her lies and how much I love her games

Riding on the highway
You’re going much too far
You’re lying so much better
When you drive a car
You’re lying ’til the sundown
So look into my face
You’re lying (I love it)
…

I love your games
I love your lies
I love your games
Look in my eyes
Don’t believe I’m worried
When you’re playing all these games
I love your lies just hold me tight
I got no one to blame
You’re lying, I’m buying
I’m buying every word
I love your lies
I love your games

Take me to the ballroom
We’re dancing through the night
I’m in your arms, I love your lies
They make me feel so light
You’re lying to your shadow
So look into my face
You’re lying (I love it)
…

Take me in your arms and hold me tight just for tonight
I need no drugs I love your lies
You hide me from the night
You’re lying, I’m buying
I’m buying every word
I love your lies
I love your games

Julie stopped her car
The sun had gone and left one of these dark red skies
She looked in my eyes and with a smile in her face she said
“Of Course I’m Lying.
But I think I love you.”

Take me on the highway
You’re going much too far
You’re lying even better
When you drive a car
You’re lying ’til the sundown
So look into my face
You’re lying (I love it)
