Tell the Truth

Lyrics

Smoke a cigarette
 An' I know I've had enough
 Mash whiskey in another paper cup
 Didn't know it, babe
 But yo cup was runnin' over
 Never time to do it right
 But it's time to do it over
 And I lay awake
 Big dreamers never sleep (No they don't)
 Time to play the cards
 Read 'em and weep
 
 Well I, I always heard it said
 That the truth will set you free
 Woman with the way you do
 Well how can I believe
 A smokin' mountain got to blow
 I'm the livin' proof
 Well, right now I think it's time
 To Tell the Truth, baby
 (Time to tell the truth)
 Yeah, you got to try
 Stop lying baby
 (Time to tell the truth)
 Doin' time behind these bedroom walls
 Blink of an eye another shooting star falls, yeah
 Tried to tell you babe
 But you don't want to hear me
 Take one good look
 These are tears of fury
 Well, then let it show
 A big catastrophe, yeah yeah
 Now I don't wanna know
 Your social activities
 
 If the world loves a bad guy
 Well, then, how 'bout the doubt
 I was first one to get in
 Now I'm the last one out
 Profess to love me, babe
 Then, why can't I tell
 All you do is use me babe
 You're lying to yourself
 I think it's time...
 (Time to tell the truth)
 Time to tell the truth now now
 Stop lying baby
 (Time to tell the truth)
 Time to tell the truth now, all right
 ♪
 Mama please
 Baby please
 ♪
 If the world loves a bad guy
 Well, then, how 'bout the doubt
 Well, I was first one to get in
 Now I'm the last one out
 Smokin' mountain got to blow
 I'm the livin' proof
 And now I know it's time
 Yes it is
 Try
 Yeah, got to try, try
 (Time to tell the truth)
 Yeah, tell the truth now
 (Time to tell the truth)
 Stop lying baby
