Lyrics The Truth - Prince

The Truth

What if half the things ever said
Turned out to be a lie
How will you know the Truth?
If you were given all the answers
And you stopped to wonder why
But how will you know the Truth?
Everybody’s got a right to love
Everybody’s got a right to lie
But the choice you make it ain’t no piece of cake
It ain’t no motherfuckin' piece of pie
What if Time’s only reason
Was to give us all something to fear?
And if so you all, the end of the journey’s so clear
Questionnaire: What did you stand for?
Questionnaire: Who did you save?
When it gets right down to wait a minute
When it gets right down to the nitty of the gritty
When it gets right down to it you take more than you gave
Everybody’s got a right to love
Everybody’s got a right to lie
But the choice you make it ain’t no piece of cake
It ain’t no motherfuckin' piece of pie
Mmmm oh
Got to (Going to?) tell the truth you all
Got to tell the truth
Got to tell the truth you all
Got to tell the truth
Got to tell the truth you all
Got to tell the truth
If there was just one day
That everybody tell the truth
We’d all trade bank accounts and move to Neptune
