Truth
By: Bamboo

Can't Believe how you set me free
The way you purify this soul don't you know
Got you into my arms now I'm never letting go
This old dog is finally home...finally home...So!
Chorus:

Ohh, Tell me what you want
I'll pay the price
What's money I'll roll the dice
Lose it all take the fall
Let it ride
As long as i have you at my side
(repeat 2X)

Friend or foe you come to me
Wasn't sure how deep a hole i was getting into
Yet I choose to wake up every mornin with a smile of my face
Or see life for what it is one big fat race...GO!
(repeat chorus)

*Chorus:

I've played the fool
Thinking i can catch you off guard and score another night with you
But the tables have been turned
This boy's about to get burned
But before i go, i gotta know - i gotta know

Let's not forget
You kept me waiting
What can i do to get through to you
Tired of singin to myself
I need a lesson
I need a blessing
The Shoe fits all we need is a little glue
I hate what you do

Ohh, Tell me what you want
Ohh, Tell me what you want
Ohh, Tell me what you want
Ohh, Tell me what you want...fuck you...
(repeat chorus)





ohh... It's been so good since i last saw you... ohh... child...
ohh... It's been so good since i last saw you... ohh...

"Truth"

Can't believe how you set me free
The way you purify this soul don't you know
Got you into my arms now I'm never letting go
This old dog is finally home, is finally home, so

Go tell me what you want
I'll pay the price
What's money, I'll roll the dice
I lose it all, take the fall
I'll let it ride
As long as I have you at my side

Go tell me what you want
I'll pay the price
What's money, I'll roll the dice
I lose it all, take the fall
I'll let it ride
As long as I have you at my side

Friend or foe, you come to me
Wasn't sure how deep a hole I was getting into
If I choose to wake up every morning with a smile on my face
Or see life for what it is, one big fat race, go

Go tell me what you want
I'll pay the price
What's money, I'll roll the dice
I lose it all, take the fall
I'll let it ride
As long as I have you at my side

Go tell me what you want
I'll pay the price
What's money, I'll roll the dice
I lose it all, take the fall
I'll let it ride
As long as I have you at my side

I've played the fool
Thinking I can catch you off guard and score another night with you
But the tables have been turned
This boy's about to get burned
But before I go I gotta know, I gotta know

Let's not forget
You kept me waiting
What can I do to get through to you
Tired of singin' to myself
I need a lesson
I need a blessing
The shoe fits, all we need is a little glue
I hate what you do

Go tell me what you want
Go tell me what you want
Go tell me what you want
Go tell me what you want

Go tell me what you want
I'll pay the price
What's money, I'll roll the dice
I lose it all, take the fall
I'll let it ride
As long as I have you at my side

Go tell me what you want
I'll pay the price
What's money, I'll roll the dice
I lose it all, take the fall
I'll let it ride
As long as I have you at my side

Oh, it's been so good since I last saw ya
Oh, it's been so good since I last saw ya

Go tell me what you want
Go tell me what you want
Go tell me what you want
Go tell me what you want
