Better be true
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't mind you playing with my imagination
I don't mind you talking about me and you
I might think it's funny if you're fooling with my money
But I don't like you saying things that just aren't tru
I don't mind discussing wisdom & youth
And I don't mind you cussing if you're telling the truth
You can joke about the weather on a lousy day
But don't tell me that you're leaving if you're planning to stay
Well it don't have to be different it don't have to be true
If you got something to tell me it better be true
It don't have to be clever between me and you
If it's gonna be forever it better be true
I don't mind rehearsing though I'd much rather play
I don't mind conversing if you've got something to say
A little exaggeration might be understood
But lying to me darling just ain't no good.
If you feel like telling me that you will never leave me
Don't you dare deceive me cause that will never do
Well it don't have to be different it don't have to be true
If you got something to tell me it better be true
It don't have to be clever between me & you
If it's gonna be forever it better be true
