Was it somethin' that you felt? (Not certain of it)
Was it somethin' that you meant? (Not wild about it)
Do you remember who you were before
I picked you up on West 44th?

You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you
You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you
You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you
You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you

I was only playin' nice ('Cause I wanted somethin')
I was only listening (I was on the make)
Givin' your light to nameless boys
Givin' that light to anyone

You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you
You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you
You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you
You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you

Was I shady and obscene?
Was it the worst it had ever been?
Do you remember what you had to do
Before I saw something in you?

From the start, I made it clear
I could only try to be sincere
And if that failed, I would keep my word
Oh, what's wrong with bein' kept, my love?

You deserve the truth, you deserve the truth, you
You deserve the truth, you deserve the truth, you
You deserve the truth, you deserve the truth, you
You deserve the truth, you deserve the truth, you
You
