You told me this, you told me that
You try to tell me, tell me where it's at
You said you loved me, I can see through that
Lies, lies, lies

You left me hangin', hangin' from a limb
You said you loved me, then you left with him
Lord, you did it to me, I see it in your eyes
Lies, lies, lies

Tell me baby, why you take my time
You get a thrill off playing with my mind
Lord, you did it to me, I see it in your eyes
Lies, lies, lies

I love this song! However, I don’t like the new Radioparadise! Information used to say when the album was released! I missed that!

I'm still seeing release dates, using Android app and at RP.com

Must be LIES lol

JJ Cale will always be one of the great talents in my book. He did an album with Eric Clapton about 8 years ago. Well worth a listen.        The Road to Escondido by J.J. Cale and Eric Clapton (2006)    
 
prefer  Eno/Cale's  Wrong Way Up. just got tired of Clapton...

Further proof that less is more.  Tasteful restraint 101.

Thank you JJ.

OK, I too got sick of looking at this Lying Loser's face, so I reposted without the 70 Thumbs-up votes, thus dropping him down to the bottom of the comments, where he belongs.   ; )

Can't control yourself enough to keep politics off of here? WTF?!?


TDS is a terrible plague and they can't help it, everything in the state and nothing against it. . . until it's coming for them. Note they never have an issue with the multiple lies and plagiarisms of the current office holder?

JJ's weakest and Eric's best (in recent years) 
 JJ weaned him off the metronome and loosened him up...

This JJ Cale track I've rated at 9, and that ain't no lie.  JJ Cale is, or was, :-( , an awesome musician and such a cool, laid back sound.  Glad JJ and EC got together.  RIP to JJ...it's been almost 5 years....

Johnnie Lang's "Lie to me" would be a gret follow-on song... All relationships being based on trust; how many lies do we allow before trust dies-?  Trust is two-way and earned...  I uess it depends on the subject of the lie

{#Clap} Now those adjectives sum J.J.Cale up about perfectly. "Obscene" and "slippery". Yup. But, in a good way...{#Cool}

Oh sh#t!   Another great album I had on vinyl that I'll have yet to replace!  Damn you RP!

One of the early bands I was in made the mistake of trying to play this tune.  It is absolutely impossible to get it to swing the way JJ does.

Happy 70th, JJ. You're one of the best.

Not as good as JJ's Naturally album, but still great.

It feels like downtown Grand Rapids, MI in the mid 70's...with the fake leopard skin landau roofs of the Buick deuce and a quarter with the corner feelers, so as not to rub the large white walls...let's not forget the Aquarius pillows in the back windows, just plain pimpin'!!

i like cale\'s laid back style, he\'s underappreciated as far as I\'m concerned.
Posted 22 years ago by SuperWeh    [ Reply ]
I was actually surprised to hear any JJ Cale here on RP. Bill, I figured the lyrics were probably just too simplistic for your taste. I really enjoy JJ's music. He's got a great bluesy sound with a guitar that just can't miss. :) Then I look at your catalogue and you have lots of his songs! Silly me
