"Baby I Lied" is a single by American country music artist Deborah Allen. Released in 1983, it was the first single from the album Cheat the Night. The song reached number 4 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. It was also her only hit on the Billboard Hot 100, where it went to number 26.[1]

In The Encyclopedia of Country Music, Mary A. Bufwack wrote that the song showed "Allen's country-pop style, marked by a wall of sound and soulful singing".[2]
