The Simple Truth

(Jennifer Hanson/Kim Patton-Johnston)
 We could color it, wrap it up, tie it with a bow
 We could sugarcoat, or be polite, say it isn't so
 We could watch a movie 'til it's late
 Then turn out the lights
 Oh, but somethin' in this pretty house
 Just isn't right
 So let the walls come down
 Let it all fall down
 Baby, make no excuse
 I can't feel your love
 Take off the kid gloves
 And love me like you really do
 By tellin' me the simple truth
 Baby, lately we're on eggshells just tietoein' around
 And the silence is so deafening, it drowns out sound
 But the honesty, the deep emotions, what we know is real
 So even if you're hurt and angry, tell me how you feel
 So let the walls come down
 Let it all fall down
 Baby, make no excuse
 I can't feel your love
 Take off the kid gloves
 And love me like you really do
 By tellin' me the simple truth
 Hey, what's goin' on in your head
 This is me you're talkin' to
 Let's get down to the heart of the matter
 'Cause that's all that matters
