"Tell Me a Lie" is a song composed by Mickey Buckins and Barbara Wyrick. Originally recorded by Lynn Anderson for her 1974 What a Man My Man Is album, it was released later that same year as a single by Sami Jo Cole, who took it to number 21 on both of the major U.S. pop charts. It also charted in Canada (#17).[1] Cole's version was also an Adult Contemporary hit, reaching number 14 in the U.S.[2] and number 27 in Canada.[3]
Janie Fricke covered the song in 1983 and topped the U.S. country singles charts with it.
