The things you told me All lies that I believed Your words were poetry Lovely, hypnotic and soothing to me I think I love you But how can I be sure? Love's real foundation Is built on truth and can stand, oh, stand for your lies Please, tell the truth, no more lies Tell the truth, if you say it then mean it Tell the truth, no more lies Tell the truth, if you say it you must mean it Tell the truth, no more lies Tell the truth, if you say it then you gotta mean it Man, why can't you see Loving arms won't stay deceit Through lies you captured me Then came the truth and the truth set me free My love was so blind Your words controlled my mind I thought true love I'd find Then came the truth and the walls came tumbling down Please, tell the truth, no more lies Tell the truth, if you say it then mean it Tell the truth, no more lies Tell the truth, if you say it then you gotta mean it To really love you I must believe in you That's how you build faith When there's no faith then how can you have any love? Come on, tell the truth, no more lies Tell the truth, if you say it you must mean it I wanna believe in you Like you can believe in me If you say it then then mean it Give me something I can hold on to If you say it then then mean it
