Tell the Truth - David Lee Roth

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
