Lyrics
- All is fair in love and war
That’s what they say
But you can’t steal my heart and then
Try to steal away
According to the law of love
You’ll have to pay
So take the stand
Raise your right hand and
Chorus
Tell the truth, nothing but the truth
Who’s the one you dream of when you close your eyes
Tell me, is it me?
Tell the truth, better tell the truth
‘Cause you won’t see Heaven if you’re telling lies
So tell the truth
I love you, so help me, I do
Do you swear that I’m the only one you care for?
Tell the truth, am I your flaming youth?
Who’s the one you walk with when you’re walkin’
The one you talk with when you’re talkin’
And when you do love, who do you love?
Tell the truth
- You like me and I like you
So why be shy?
How do I know you love me so?
I see it in your eye
You might as well confess you do
For it’s no lie, please tell me so
Let yourself go, oh
