The Truth Or A Lie

(album: I'll Keep On Loving You - 1973)

I have just cheated and I know I was wrong
But temptation found me when I wasn't strong
Oh, I chanced a lifetime for one careless night
Shall I tell her the truth and break her heart
Or spare her the sorrow and tell her a lie

Could she live with the truth could I live with a lie
Could she forgive me should I ask her to try
Oh, what will I say when I'll go home tonight
Shall I tell her the truth and break her heart
Or save her the sorrow and tell her a lie

Can she live with the truth can I live with a lie
Can she forgive me is she willing to try
Oh, what will I say when I'll face her tonight
Will I tell her the truth and break her heart
Or spare her the sorrow and tell her a lie
What will it be the truth or a lie
