"Lies" is a song by the English rock band the Rolling Stones from their 1978 album Some Girls.

The song is a fast-paced rocker is about a man being fed up with his girlfriend's lying and cheating. As with most of Some Girls, it features the five core Stones members, with Jagger, Richards and Ronnie Wood sharing electric guitar duties.
