Walter Egan: "The Truth" Lyrics

by Joy Lynn White and Walter Egan

The truth sometimes can be unkind

It can be brutal hurtful and mess with your mind

Just when you think you've got it all figured out

The truth comes along and tells you what it's all about

Sometimes the truth can be unkind

Oh the truth sometimes will let you down

It can be cruel make you a fool and push you around

Just when you think you're standing tall

The truth comes along and makes you feel so small

Sometimes the truth will let you down

Happiness used to be a kiss away

How I wish I could kiss you today

Oh baby you threw it all away

Happiness used to be a kiss away

How I wish I could kiss you today

Oh baby hear what I say

Oh my sweet baby

You threw it all away

Oh the truth I don't want to know…
