Tell the Truth.
 
I know your deepest
secret;
of course, you want
to keep it -
from me;
and everybody...
that knows you.
You can lie to
yourself -
and you can
pretend you're
someone else...
but we both know
that you need help -
you hide - you hide;
...and you lie.
 
Sleeping next to you;
and you whisper
into the night
I see your vision;
I gain insight;

you fight the fight;
yeah, in the night. -
Your words are the proof.
You don't have to lie to me...  
but you need to tell the truth.
to tell - the truth.
 
Go about your day;
put your subconscious
to sleep -
Have a drink -
try not to think -
of deceit and
betrayal;
but you know,
I followed your
trail..
Your alibi -will
certainly fail -
Hey! I am one
step ahead of you -  
'Cause Baby, -
Baby, I know
...the truth.
  
I can tell when you're
lying to me -
you speak without
showing your
teeth and your eyes
...get far away;
and you hesitate
between the words ~
eh', between the words -
You say - ohh, yeah!  
that you've been working -
My God! You're almost
smirking -
I'm starting to think
when you speak, -
everytime you speak;
Yeah! - you lie to me.
 
You thought you
were all alone;
talking to her
on the business
phone;
Hushed tones
n' you say...
"it won't be long;
til' I am with you..."
and I wonder if
you're telling her
the truth... 
if I'm going to loose;
you... - 
There's just
one thing - that 
I need you to do;
Tell me the truth - 
Why? Why won't
you - just tell
me - the truth. 
Come on! -
...just tell the truth.
 
and now;
yes, Baby,
I know your
deepest secret;
of course, uhh;
of course, you want
- you want to;  
to keep it -
from me;
and everybody...
that knows you.
Go ahead and lie
to yourself!
You can lie to
yourself -
and you can
pretend you're
somebody - else...
but we both know
that you need help -
'cause, you - hide...
you hide - you hide; 
I don't know why,
but you hide - Hey!
uhhhh..and - you - lie.
 
Sleeping next to you;
and you whisper
into the night
I see your vision;
I gain insight;
fires ignite -
I see you;
yeah - you 
know you need to -
fight the fight; 
Oh! - in the night ~  
Your words are the proof.
You don't have to lie to me..
but you need to tell the truth;
Come on! tell yourself;
tell yourself, Hey, Baby!
Tell the truth.
 
Yes, I know everything;
everything, about you...
and I'm ready to have
to have it out with you;
I'm going to scream
and shout at you...
and I'm done listening -
to your lies -
Your a hissing snake;
I've had all I'm going
to take -
     and no!
I won't let you hide;
Come on! Tell yourself,
tell yourself -
     tell the truth... 
Yes, Honey, it's
time to tell;
time to tell - 
     to - tell
        to tell...the truth. 
(Uhhh...
       Just tell me the truth.)
