Carpenters的歌曲《Somebody's Been Lyin'》是一首关于感情背叛与自我反省的情歌。这首歌描绘了歌手在一段感情中感受到的欺骗和失落，同时也反映了她在面对这段关系时内心的挣扎与矛盾。
歌词中的“somebody's been lyin'”暗示着某人一直在撒谎，可能是恋人或曾经亲密的人。这种谎言让歌手感到痛苦和困惑，尤其是在对方表面上仍然表达爱意，但实际行为却充满了讽刺和冷漠。
歌曲也反映出歌手在情感上的脆弱和不安全感。尽管她知道应该放手并独立前行，但她仍然无法完全摆脱对过去的留恋和对对方的信任。
Somebody's been lyin', somebody's been callin' me
有人一直在欺骗我，有人一直在联系我。
Tellin' me he still loves me

But not the way I thought it would be
但并不是我想象的那种方式。
He's makin' fun of me and laughin' at my dreams

And I know that he keeps sayin' not to worry

He's tellin' me to just hold on
他让我坚持下去。
But he's not here to lean on
但他并不在我身边给予支持。
And words won't warm my bed now he's gone
现在他离开了，言语也无法温暖我的床。
It isn't easy letting go of what we had
放下我们曾经拥有的东西并不容易。
And I guess I'm just scared

And I still believe him though

I'd be wiser to go on my own way
或许独自前行才是更明智的选择。
Somebody's been lyin' and

I know you're tellin' me only the things you want to
