Is it a lie or is it different viewpoint?

"Look into my eyes
Can't you see they're open wide,
Would I lie to you baby,
Would I lie to you?
- From the song 'Would I Lie To You' by Charles & Edie

Song 'Would I Lie To You' by Charles and Eddie:

Look into my eyes
Can't you see they're open wide,
Would I lie to you baby,
Would I lie to you.

Don't you know it's true,
Girl there's no one else but you,
Would I lie to you baby,
Would I lie to you.

Everybody wants to know the truth,
In my arms is the only proof,
I've hidden my heart behind the bedroom door,
Now it's open I can't do no more.
