Lyrics
you don't like the sound of the truth
coming from my mouth
you say that I lack the proof
well baby that might be so
I might get to the end of my life
find out everyone was lying
I'm not afraid anymore to say
I would rather die trying
Chorus
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 all the love in my lips
all the love in my lips
It stung when he swung the bat
found myself laying flat I wondered
What a way to spend the time
what a way to spend a dime
ain't it baby
now I look at my reflection
in the window walking past
and I see a stranger
I'm just so scared all the time
makes for one more reason why
the world's so dangerous
Repeat Chorus
You don't like the sound of the truth
coming from my mouth
you say that I lack the proof
well baby that might be so
tell me what's wrong with
having a little faith
in what you're feeling in your heart
why must we always be so afraid
and always so far apart
