Nobody can share my troubles, this I know   And let me tell you I learned a lesson, here I go   Don't you know? It's just as sure as the rising sun   Don't you know? To tell the truth is lesson number one       To lie to your lover is a sorry losing game   To lie is a violation and a shame   Don't you know? It's just as sure as the rising sun   Don't you know? To tell the truth is lesson number one       I remember being told to be careful for telling even one lie   Would surely lead to more problems of alarming dimensions   I wish I had paid attention, oh       Don't you know? It's just as sure as the rising sun   Don't you know? To tell the truth is lesson number one   Don't you know? It's just as sure as the rising sun Don't you know? To tell the truth is lesson number one.
