"Girls Lie Too" is a song written by Tim Nichols, Kelley Lovelace and Connie Harrington, and recorded by Canadian country music singer Terri Clark. It was released to country radio on April 19, 2004 as the lead single to Clark's first greatest hits album, Greatest Hits 1994–2004.
The song reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart on September 11, spending a single week atop the chart. The song was Clark's second and final number one single in the United States, following 1998's "You're Easy on the Eyes".[1]
Content
The narrator addresses several lies that women tend to tell regarding their expectations of their significant others. For example, it doesn't matter how much money they make, what car they drive, or how much they weigh; and it's interesting to listen to them brag about golf, hunting, and getting wings at Hooters.
Critical reception
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that "a clever lyric combined with a spirited performance make this highly compatible with previous Clark hits." and "boasts a lively tempo that makes it great summer radio fare, and the lyric will make listeners chuckle."[2]
Music video
The music video shows a woman, played by LaTresa Smith with Pirates of the Caribbean character Jack Sparrow as her dream lover, played by video director Shaun Silva.[3] At the end, she calls him "Johnny" in bed. The video also features a cameo appearance by Wayne Newton.[4]
