adulation, flattery, flattering wayㄝsexcessive use of force, no stranger to treason, flattering and “well-cut attire.”

.....這次合作成果大好，她們卻沒有乘勝追擊，下次三女神合作專輯，得等到12年後的《Trio II》了。

這首歌 Telling Me Lies 是兩位才女 Linda Thompson 和 Betsy Cook 的作品，原版收在 Linda Thompson 1985年的個人專輯。經三女神重新詮釋，此曲一夕爆紅，並提名葛萊美年度鄉村歌曲。

如今 Linda Ronstadt 罹患帕金森氏症，封嗓多年，這樣美麗的合唱，已成絕響。

心碎情歌有千萬種寫法，這首是精采絕倫的示範。

Should've locked up all my silver
Brought the key right to your door

Until you have to please one

Don't put your life in the hands of a man
With a face for every season
Don't waste your time in the arms of a man
Who's no stranger to treason
