Every time I try to tell where you're goin' wrong
You run and hide your head and call me crazy,
All I tried to tell you was that you could get it on
If you just wouldn't be so lazy.
Oh, what can we do, oh I tried to tell you, everything
is true.
I'm tryin' to tell you I've tried everything I knew,
ooh, to try and tell you
The truth ... I wanna tell you the truth, baby, I
wouldn't ever lie to you,
I'm gonna tell you the truth now.
Every time I try to point out the way you're goin' down
You run and hide your head and drown another jug of whiskey,
And when I said you had to get together, try to love
you brother,
Did I hit you up with too much of a mystery?
Oh, what can we do, I believe in you, how can I tell
you, everything is true.
I tried to tell you, I tried everything I knew, ooh to
try to tell you
The truth ... I wanna tell you the truth, baby, tell
you the truth,
And no I'd never lie to you, ooh, to try to tell you
the truth, baby, truth,
I wouldn't never never never ...
I watch you count the spaces passing by,
Makes me want to cry, get the strangest kind of old
lonely,
As the oceans overflow with people come and people go
And still you're only make-believin',
Baby, what can we do? I believe in you, how can I tell
you, everything is true,
And I tried to tell you the truth ... [etc]
