lyrics

Have you ever had to lie?
Gotta talk real fast and give an alibi?
We've all been down that road more times than we'd confess
But still your conscience knows, and it won't let you rest

Telling the truth can bring you joy
I keep no secrets from my boy
You know everything about me

Like that time down in Birmingham
A bottle of wine and those busy hands
There's certain things I wish I could forget

'Cause sometimes it seems the truth's a sin
To tell it straight can make the Devil grin
But it don't matter what you hide or what you admit
'Cause if your love ain't true, then I'm through with it

Have you made somebody hurt?
Had to break a heart and be a total jerk?
We've all made choices we regret

Like when you went up to Buffalo
You made a friend and didn't tell her know
If only certain things had not been said to me

'Cause sometimes it seems the truth's a sin
To tell it straight can make the Devil grin
But it don't matter what you hide or what you admit
'Cause if your love ain't true, then I'm through with it

Have you ever had to make a choice?
Do what'll make her smile or what you know is right?
Go make your conscience proud - reveal all your secrets
You've done the right thing now to make her slit her wrists

'Cause sometimes it seems the truth's a sin
To tell it straight can make the Devil grin
But it don't matter what you hide or what you admit
'Cause if your love ain't true, then I'm through with it
I said: if your love ain't true, then I'm through with that shit

Remember when you went to Sicily
Expensive room and cheap-ass company
It's plain to see the truth's a sin

You took a trip out to Winnipeg
Where "just one sip" turned to "just one keg"
It's plain to see the truth's a sin

Grand Hotel down in Swaziland
You found yourself a real Swazi man
It's plain to see the truth's a sin

You felt like Temujin in Ulaanbaatar
Ladies rubbing skin all over your guitar
It's plain to see the truth's a sin

It's plain to see the truth's a sin
