So what do I say? So what can I say?
I don't know what to say or do in this situation
The cards out on the table, Allison
The truth has been revealed or there are no more secrets
She lied and said she was a version
She lied and claimed to be a virgin
And I asked which, which version
I asked which version of the truth or which version of her story was true
So what do you say? So what do I pay?
What should we do or say now, and what is the cost?
Lay down on the table, Allison, Allison, Allison
Be honest and reveal everything, Allison
