Tell em all I'm on vacation, Say I went to visit friends, That you ain't heard or seen from in quite a while, When they ask you where I've been, Tell em I'm out on the west coast where don't ever rain, And that I'm probably doing fine,
(Chorus) Just tell em I've gone crazy, That I'm still strung out over you, Tell em anything you want to, Just don't tell em all the truth, Yeah don't tell em all truth,
Tell em all I'm out in Vegas, Blowin' every dollar I ever made, Tell em I must be into something bad for me cause, I sure lost a lot weight, Tell em I'm out on the road with some old rock and roll band, Living a gypsy king.
(Chorus)
The truth is that I'm asking you to lie, And we both know that it ain't right, if you ever loved me please, Have some mercy on me, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Tell em anything you want to, Just don't tell em all the truth, Yeah don't tell em all the truth, I still you, Yeah that's the truth, I still love you, Baby that's the truth.
