Written by Billy Mize

You’ve got a way of makin’ me blue
And you’ve got a way of hurtin’ me too
Oh, what a terrible tangled web we weave

You’ve got a gentleman on the side
And you’ve got a friend that you’re tryin’ to hide
Oh, what a terrible tangled web we weave

We both got a way of goin’ our way
Knowin’ the cost gets greater each day
And I know you know we know we both deceive

We’ve got a way of livin’ a lie
And life’s got a way of makin’ us cry
Oh, what a terrible tangled web we weave

Why do we have to settle for it
How can we take too much more
It figures we both lack the nerve to leave

We’ve got a way of livin’ a lie
And life’s got a way of makin’ us cry
Oh, what a terrible tangled web we weave
Oh, what a terrible tangled web we weave
