1st verse i'm just an old truth teller i'm your candid friend i'm not some daydream seller i do not pretend / i've a sense of survival and screwing my rivals that's labeled me crass and uncouth but i can't help it i just tell the truth he can't help it, he just tells the truth / 2nd verse i'm just an old truth teller brutally direct i see it eye for eye i'm rarely incorrect why call me a sharp trader a corporate raider i'm a role model for today's youth it's so simple, i just tell the truth he can't help it, he just tells the truth / bridge why was i born to be right all the time in deal after deal after deal foiling those sharks that are circling my penthouse hoping to make me a meal / 3rd verse no good deed goes unpunished nothing goes as planned my ingrate family left me i don't understand / where's your wife? in alaska any sons? in nebraska and my daughter milks cows in duluth / i can't help it, i just tell the truth / ohh he can't help it, he just sells it he can't help it, he just tells it / i can't help it, i just tell the truth
