Looking for a song that has been re-recorded by Fiona Apple (sp?)
whose lyrics go "I don't buy your true life stories, cuz I see the way
you lie"

I am looking for a copy of the original song.  Any info on this one hit wonder?

Hi Mauryster,

Is it They Eat Their Own's (I Need You)"Like a Drug" that you're looking for?

voila-ga,

Here's a link you might want to include in your clarification:

Poking around I see alot of people saying it isn't Fiona singing this
song and only the original exists??

According to Google...here is Fiona's dicography....

://www.google.com/musicad?aid=kPrpguiIdxP

There's some evidence for that in the ASCAP database. Here is the
information listed for the original song; note that the only
"performers" listed are the original artists who recorded the song:

Writers:
   BARICEVIC LAURA 

Performers:
   THEY EAT THEIR OWN
 
Variations:
  (none found)

Publishers/Administrators:
   EMI VIRGIN MUSIC INC 
    ATTN: JENNIFER INSOGNA 
    810 SEVENTH AVENUE 
    NEW YORK , NY, 10019
    Tel. (212) 830-2036

Usually, any performer who has recorded a copyrighted song will be
listed, as Fiona Apple is listed in the same database as a "performer"
of the Lennon/McCartney "Across the Universe."

In addition, here is a post from a forum on the "fiona/not fiona"
attribution of the song, this comment dating back to 2002 [last post
on the web page below]:

" 'I need you like a drug' is actually a song from 1990 by some band.
I forget the name but this fiona rumor was going around for awhile."
