The Truth Hurts
Bill Mumy

You say this time it'll be alright
And you don't come home 'til the middle of the night
Your hair's a mess and you're high as a kite
with your shoes in your hand, it's a pitiful sight

    I know the truth hurts
    more than your pretty lies
    I know the truth hurts
    I see it in your eyes

In brightest day or blackest night
no evil shall escape my sight
you played me for a fool alright
and I know that you found it very exciting

    I know the truth hurts
    more than your pretty lies
    I know the truth hurts
    I see it in your eyes

Talking 'bout the truth
when you look me in the eye, baby
When you tell me "swear to god", baby
Talking 'bout the truth

    I know the truth hurts
    more than your pretty lies
    I know the truth hurts
    I see it in your eyes

You tell me this and you tell me that
But you never tell me where you've been at
You can read the truth here in this note
"Bye-bye, baby" was all that I wrote

    I know the truth hurts
    more than your pretty lies
    I know the truth hurts
    I see it in your eyes

(Solos)

    I know the truth hurts
    more than your pretty lies
    I know the truth hurts
    I see it in your eyes

You say this time it'll be alright
And you don't come home 'til the middle of the night
bye-bye baby
bye-bye baby
bye-bye baby
