Truth Lyrics by Dwele

Subject

2003

[Segue from "Poppa Yo (Intro)"]
...Yeah-heh (Yeah-heh, yeah-heh, yeah-heh, yeah-heh, yeah-heh)

[Intro]
Doo, doo, doo, doo-ooh-hoo
Lady, would you please be my (My)
Subject
(Subject, my subject, yeah, yeah, come on)
Doo, ooh, oh
Doo, mm-hmm, oh, mmm
Doo, ooh-hoo, oh yeah, mm-hmm, oh
Doo, I, I, I
Doo, ooh
Doo, ooh-hoo

[Chorus]
I lied, I said you were the truth
You took it as the truth
And now I got you, but I don't want you like that
There only lives one love
And of that you can't compare to
And that's the bare-naked truth

[Verse 1]
You knew and I knew
But you didn't want to hear
What I didn't want to tell you
Now we've got hard times
And now there's no love at home
When separate we feel so alone
But we can't stand to be
Together to talk about it
We had time, to I-N-C
Our thoughts instead of our bodies
This can't be love
What if we produced a shorty
Would hard times would still be visual
Within this love, within our love
This can't be love
And that's the bare-naked

[Chorus]
You took it as the truth
And now I got you, but I don't want you like that
There only lives one love (There only lives one love)
And of that you can't compare to
And that's the bare-naked truth

[Verse 2]
I said you were the truth (Oh)
You took it as the truth
We can't stand to be
Together, to talk about it
But we can't stand to be
Apart long enough to heal this thing, baby
You and I started off good
Findin' time to spend time
I said what you wanted to hear
Now you need to know that

[Chorus]
I lied, I said you were the truth
You took it as the truth
And now I got you, but I don't want you like that
There only lives one love
And of that you can't compare to
And that's the bare-naked truth
And you need to take that as a truth

[Verse 3]
If our words were truly fact
We probably still wouldn't have love
But we would love what we had
But we don't, reality is we lied
Now you and I must say goodbye
Can't you see the bare-naked start to speak

[Outro]
I'm a young man (Yeah), the world is mine
I should've been (Ooh), straight with you from the beginnin' (Mm-hmm)
You probably wasn't even lookin' for a man (Mmm, oh)
This time has been no doubt interestin' (Ooh)
But now that (Mmm) we broke up, I'm thinkin' this might've been love
This coulda been love, damn, what the f—, it's just my luck

[Skit]
Need somethin' like, need some mo' west
Some mo' West Coast
Y'know I'm sayin'? Like some
Nah, man, like, like this
