SUGAR COATED PILL

                  (Cartwright-Lilien)

I knew it had to come

And now I know it's here

Now I know that I've lost you

At least I'm free from fear

But do me one last favor

Don't be too honest, dear

Let me down easy

And I'll hold back my tears

Say you love me still

Say it's just until

Say one day we will

And baby, don't you know

That I will swallow whole

Every sugar coated pill

I recognize the look

You're wearing in your eye

Last time I wore that look

I made somebody cry

So when you break it to me

Go right ahead and lie

Let me down easy

'Cause I've been riding high

Say you love me still

Say it's just until

Say one day we will

And baby, don't you know

That I will swallow whole

Every sugar coated pill
