I GUESS "I know the truth" from Aida can fit into that.
And in that regard MAYBE the ending section of "Thank Goodness" but that's a stretch.
Am I mistaken but isn't there a great song from Passions that would fit there? I have to catch up on that show.

"Live, Laugh, Love" from FOLLIES
It seems to me that most of the songs listed here are either about not believing someone else ("A Boy Like That" anyone?) or are songs where the character believes s/he is telling the truth only to change his/her mind later in the plot. (That Ilona fails to keep her resolution doesn't mean she is lying when she makes it. Even a song like "I Hate Men": it isn't true, but doesn't Lily/Kate believe it when she sings it?)
Songs where characters are deliberately lying are rare because, as with the Shakespearean soliloquy, our convention is that characters singing to the audience always tell the truth (at least to the extent they know it at the time).
