The Truth's Outside My Door

(album: In Full Bloom - 1969)

Doorbell ringing, wow
My future's waiting outside
How can I explain
Saying goodbye to an old flame
The truth's outside my door

The engagement ring that I wear
Is a promise my love will be true
Or will he believe that's what I was telling you?
I said the truth's outside my door

If I don't answer, will he think that I'm gone?
I'm not at home, yeah
Or will he hear the records playing
Loud and strong, oh baby, yeah

If I open up the door
Will he get a false impression
Or will he believe my true confession?
I said the truth's outside my door, baby
Ooh

Have I put our love in the danger zone?
Does he know I'm home, baby
Or will he notice if I stop the music
From playing loud and strong
Ooh, baby, baby

Can he hear me whisper low
Saying you will have to go, no
Or will he be a man
And try and understand
I said the truth's outside my door, ooh

The doorbell is getting louder
I know I got to face him
Ah, will he turn away and say I disgraced him?
Darling, the truth's outside our door

Ooh, the truth's outside my door, baby
Ooh, the truth's outside my door, why don't you go home?
Ooh, the truth's outside my door, just leave me alone
Ooh, the truth's outside my door
