Used to be a young gull , out on the hard streets

Gettin' high on crystal, drinking scotch and smoking weed

Daddy's wish used to be nothing less than my command

Took a switch to my back, nailed me to a cross, both hands

Mamma couldn't give me, the thing a young boy needs

Instead of Mamma suffering, she was smart enough to leave

Spend my life fighting, trying to stay free

from trials and tribulations and the state penitentiary

Hustled pool, really looking cool

just making both ends meet

Until that day I saw you walking

down Blue Angel street

The sweetest lies are lily white

coming from your lips

You brush away all my pain

with a lazy finger tip

It moves my heart just watching, the way you walk so smooth

You save me from an evil fate, you steal away my blues

Lyin' here in your arms, I don't need more proof

Lyin' here safe and warm, it's just the naked truth

This man loves you, this man loves you

This man loves you, this man loves you

That's the naked truth

It's the naked truth

Going down that graveyard spiral, there was nothing I could do

Life treatin' me much harder, than a mean old corkscrew

Lyin' here in your arms, I don't need more proof

Lyin' here safe and warm, it's just the naked truth

This man loves you, this man loves you

this man loves you, this man loves you...
