Lyrics David Lee Roth

David Lee Roth

Tell The Truth

Smoked a cigarette and I know I've had enough

Mash whiskey in another paper cup

Didn't know it, babe, but your cup was running 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 them and weep, oh

Well I, I always heard they say

That the truth will set you free

Woman with the way you do

Well how can I believe?

A smoking mountain got to blow

I'm the living 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)

Doing 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

Went and let it show

A big catastrophe, yeah yeah

Now I don't wanna know

Your social activities, anymore anymore

If the world loves a bad guy

Well, then, how about the doubt

I was first one to get in, baby

I'm the last one out

Profess to love me, babe

Then what can 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

Ah baby please

If the world rogue loves a bad guy

Well then, how about the doubt?

Well, I was first one to get in

Now I'm the last one out

Smoking mountain got to blow

I'm the living proof

And now I know it's time

Yes it is

Try

(Time to tell the truth)

Yeah, got to try, try

Yeah, tell the truth now

(Time to tell the truth)

Stop lying baby

Uh uh, uh uh

(Time to tell the truth)

Woah, woah, tell the truth now

(Time to tell the truth)

Yeah, stop lying

Ah, tell the truth baby

(Time to tell the truth)
