Tell The Truth

From 'Sir Oliver's Song' (2:37)
(Can be purchased with full CD)


Chorus:
Stretchin' the truth is tellin' a lie
Angels are honest
That's why they can fly
Why would you fib?
There ain't no reason why
Tell the truth
Tell the truth
Tell the truth

Verse 1:
I borrowed a watch from my brother
It accidentally broke
I thought for sure he'd be angry
I got so scared I could croak

I thought of making excuses
And tellin' little white lies
Then I remembered what the Good Book says
Tell the truth
Tell the truth
Tell the truth

Chorus:
Stretchin' the truth is tellin' a lie
Angels are honest
That's why they can fly
Why would you fib?
There ain't no reason why
Tell the truth
Tell the truth
Tell the truth

Verse 2:
I told my brother what happened
But strangely to my surprise
He said that it didn't matter
That I's just one of the guys

Mistakes can easily happen
And you'll be tempted to lie
But when you're tellin' the truth from your heart
I keep tellin' the problems goodbye

Chorus:
Stretchin' the truth is tellin' a lie
Angels are honest
That's why they can fly
Why would you fib?
There ain't no reason why
Tell the truth
Tell the truth
Tell the truth

Tell the truth
Tell the truth
Tell the truth

Tell the truth
Tell the truth
