Moment Of Truth
G.A.B. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep an open mind?
Do you remember when you and I were friends?
Another place in time
You gotta come clean
You gotta say what you mean
Don't make a big scene and run
Give me love, give me hate
I don't want to wait
You've got nothing left to prove
Make me laugh, make me cry
But don't tell lies
Go on baby cut me loose
Give me just one moment of truth
Love is so much more than you take it for
You just forgot its name
You're too blind to see you're what's good in me
Why don't you feel the same?
You were my best chance
Don't give me romance
I want the last dance - I want you
Give me love, give me hate
I don't want to wait
You've got nothing left to prove
Make me laugh, make me cry
But don't tell lies
Go on baby cut me loose
Give me just one moment of truth
Say what you want to say
We'll go our separate ways
But I'll hold on to this love song
'Cause I hope you'll stay
Give me love, give me hate
I don't want to wait
Give me just one moment of truth
You gotta come clean
There ain't no in-between
I want to live my dream, and that's you
Give me love, give me hate
I don't want to wait
You've got nothing left to prove
Make me laugh, make me cry
But don't tell lies
Go on baby cut me loose
Give me just one moment of truth
Just one moment of truth
