There's no truth like April's Truth
Tessie said she wanted something different this time
None of that feeling sorry for myself please
I saw Joannie at the park on a bike ride
With her hair flying through the breeze
But I just got one thing that's been on my mind
Just one simple thing that I need
It's not another song about needing someone
Not another love sick tune
It's not another long rambling run
I only got the honest truth
CHORUS:
The truth is whatever come out right
'Cause lies only give you the shakes
The truth is a story that you tell late at night
And doesn't leave you lying alone awake
The truth comes easier for me sometimes
Like shedding off a mountain of weight
Away from pain, Out of the rain
This is new terrain, This is starting again
Listen to me now.
Starting all over again
April said I'm gonna tell you the truth
Plain and simple as simple can be
She said don't get uptight, I only mean to soothe
I only mean you to see
She sang like a mystery without any clues
She sang to me in a dream
Not another relationship song
We've heard much more than our share
Not another she done me wrong
The past is gone and I just don't care
CHORUS:
I got my fix from April's truth
With no side effects to bring me down
I got my licks being April's fool
And I proudly wear the jester's crown
There ain't no tricks with April's truth
Spring has come back to town
BRIDGE:
I don't care
If anyone dares
To tell me what they think
Here it is
The best I can give
The truth won't cause me to sink
Silence isn't useful
It's the lack of being truthful
So go ahead and do your thing.
SOLO
Play my song, it may sound wrong
It may be long, Or come on too strong
Listen to me now
I only wanted just the truth all along
CHORUS:
I got my fix from April's truth
With no lies to bring me down
I got my licks being April's fool
You may not like how that sounds
But there ain't no tricks with April's truth
Just say whatever comes outta your mouth.
