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