Kaci - "Butterflies Don't Lie"

[George Tropicana]

Don't let the title fool you. This fan favorite is yet another mature, heartfelt ballad by Kaci. It's absolutely perfect and not suitable for radio (except maybe AC).

It was such a fan favorite that I heard a girl complaining to her mom at Kaci's Northridge Fashion Plaza performance; "Kaci's not performing 'Butterflies Don't Lie'!" I was shocked too, telling my friend that Kaci should've performed it!

Alas, it might've been too personal like Maria Mena crying when she sang "Sorry" during her mall tour (she HAD to perform it since fans kept requesting it!). Also, it was a ballad and would've slowed down the whole shopping experience.

Is there a chance you could be mine
If I let you see inside
Or do you love somebody else
Should I keep this to myself
I could risk a broken heart by telling you the truth
Or I could keep my secret safe and when I see you

I could tell my heart each time
It isn't love, you're just some guy
There's nothing there in what I feel
It's in my head, it isn't real
But I can't deny, can't even try
Cause I know inside, butterflies don't lie

Billboard Top 50 Heatseekers SMASH album!

This song is bloody brilliant!  I remember skipping over it the first few times I played the album simply due to its title.  I wasn't willing to give it a chance!  Then I listened to it and my mouth formed a huge 'O.'  I was amazed.  The lyrics really hit home.  My job as a music consumer would be easier if more songs sounded like this. This was where pop music should have been going back in '02. :(

Kaci, what a great artist.
