Hi, I'm not a teacher, but having read English very widely that sentence sounds quite strange to me.
I'd say something like:
I'm a girl who never tells secrets, but I do tell lies.

I think the rule is that you can not use "do" to substitute for a previous verb if it is followed by an object (in this case "lies")

I'm curious to know what teachers say.

NOT A TEACHER


(1) Today standard English calls for:

"I'm a girl who doesn't tell secrets to people, but I do lie."

(2) I have read that "who don't tell" was common in the 19th century in

both the United States and the United Kingdom, but that teachers were

successful in persuading "educated" speakers to switch to "doesn't."

(3) Regarding "I do lies," I remember reading somewhere that such

English may have been acceptable many (many!!!) years ago among

some speakers in northern England.
