The Truth lyrics

Tell 'em all I'm on vacation

Say I went to visit friends

That you ain't heard or seen from me in quite a while

When they ask you where I've been

Tell 'em I'm out on the West Coast

Where it don't ever rain

And that I'm probably doing fine

Just don't tell 'em I've gone crazy

That I'm still strung out over you

Tell 'em anythin' you want to

Just don't tell 'em all the truth

Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth

Tell 'em all I'm out in Vegas

Blowin' every dollar I ever made

Tell 'em that I must be into somethin' bad for me

'Cause I sure lost a lot of weight

Tell 'em I'm out on the road

With some old rock and roll band

Living like a gypsy can

Just don't tell 'em I've gone crazy

That I'm still strung out over you

Tell 'em anythin' you want to

Just don't tell 'em all the truth

Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth

The truth is that I'm askin' you to lie

And we both know that it ain't right

But if you ever loved me

Please have some mercy on me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Tell 'em anything you want to

Just don't tell 'em all the truth

Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth

I still need you

Yeah, that's the truth

I still love you

Baby, that's the truth
