The Truth

[Intro - Spoken]

Let me tell you why I love him

[Chorus]

'Cause he is the truth, said he is so real

And I love the way that he makes me feel

And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly (Fly)

Because his light (Light) it shines so bright (Bright)

I wouldn't lie (No)

[Verse 1]

I remember the very first day that I saw him

I found myself immediately intrigued by him

It's almost like I knew this man from another life

Like back then, maybe I was his husband, maybe he was my wife

And even things I don't like about him are fine with me

'Cause it's not hard for me to understand him, cause he's so much like me

And it's truly my pleasure to share his company

And I know that it's God's gift to breathe the air he breathes

[Chorus]

'Cause he is the truth, said he is so real

And I love the way that he makes me feel

And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly (Fly)

Because his light (Light) it shines so bright (Bright)

I wouldn't lie (No)

[Break]

Oh (Oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 2]

How can the same man that makes me so mad (Do you know what he did?)

Turn right around and kiss me so soft (Girl, do you know what he did?)

If he ever left me, I wouldn't even be sad, no

'Cause there's a blessing in every lesson, and I'm glad that I knew him at all

[Chorus]

'Cause he is the truth, said he is so real

And I love the way that he makes me feel

And if I am a reflection of him, then I must be fly

Because his light (Light) it shines so bright, no

[Bridge]

I love the way he speaks

I love the way he thinks

I love the way that he treats his mama

I love that gap in between his teeth

I love him in every way that a woman can love a man

From personal to universal but most of all

It's unconditional

[Post-Bridge - Spoken]

You know what I'm talking about?

[Outro]

That's the way I feel, and I always will

There ain't no substitute for the truth

Either it is or isn't ('Cause he is the truth)

You see the truth, it needs no proof

Either it is or it isn't ('Cause he is the truth)

Now you know the truth by the way it feels

And if I am a reflection of him, then I must be fly

Because he is, yes, he is

I wonder, does he know?
