[Verse 1]
How could she ever fool around?
Don't know what she was thinking 'bout
While you were giving love
She let you down
Boy, I know that you want to be alone
Cause she broke your heart
And she sent you home
And you were wondering why
She was so cold
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well when they lie, they have to lie again
Cause the lying never ends
So
[Chorus]
Truthfully (Truthfully)
Even if you don't believe
You will always hear the truth
Come from me (Come from me)
Baby, I'll never lie (Never lie)
And you're the reason why (Reason why)
I will always tell the truth (Yeah, yeah)
'Cause the truth resides in me
[Verse 2]
Boy, I know it's a crying shame
Baby, no, no, you shouldn't blame
Yourself for what she did
She was insane
Maybe where you go, I will go
Whatever makes you happy, let me know
My heart will be right there
To console you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Maybe and the lies will never begin
I will be your lover, your best friend
So
[Chorus]
Truthfully (Truthfully)
Even if you don't believe (Don't believe)
You will always hear the truth (Always hear the truth)
Come from me (Come from me)
Baby, I'll never lie (Never, never lie)
And you're the reason why (You're the reason why)
I will always tell the truth (Always tell the truth)
'Cause the truth resides in me
[Bridge]
I will never say goodbye (Say goodbye)
And I don't wanna see you cry
God only knows I love you
But it's written in my eyes
You are the only one for me (The only one)
There's no way I could ever leave
I would never, no, never, never lie to you
Truthfully
[Chorus]
Truthfully (Truthfully)
Even if you don't believe (Even if you don't believe)
You will always hear the truth (You will always hear the truth)
Come from me (Come from me, whoa, whoa)
I'll never lie (Lie)
And you're the reason why (You're my reason why)
I will always tell the truth (Always tell the truth)
'Cause the truth resides in me
[Outro]
Oh-oh
Oh, whoa, whoa
