You don't like the sound of the truth
comin' from my mouth
you say that i lack the proof
well baby that might be so
i might get to the end of my line
find out everyone was lying
i don't think that i'm afraid anymore
say that i would rather die trying
Chorus:
wo-oh swing me way down south
sing me something brave from your mouth
and i'll bring you
pearls of water on my hips
and the love in my lips
all the love from my lips
This time when he swung the bat
and i found myself laying flat i wondered
what a way to spend a dime
what a way to use the time
ain't it baby
i looked at my reflection
in the window walking past
and i saw a stranger
i'm just so scared all the time
it makes me one more reason
why the world's dangerous
Repeat chorus
You don't like the sound of the truth
comin' from my mouth
you say that i lack the proof
well baby that might be so
tell me what's wrong with havin a little faith
in what you're feelin' in your heart
why must we be so afraid
and always so far apart
Repeat chorus
