I don't mind you playing with my imagination   I don't mind you talking about me and you   I might think it's funny if you're fooling with my money   But I don't like you saying things that just aren't true      I don't mind discussing wisdom and the youth   And I don't mind you cussing if you're telling the truth   You can joke about the weather on a lousy day   Don't tell me that you're leaving if you're planning to stay      Well, it don't have to be different, it don't have to be new   If you got something to tell me, well, it better be true   It don't have to be clever between me and you   If it's gonna be forever, it better be true      I don't mind rehearsing but I'd much rather play   And I don't mind conversing if you've got something to say   A little exaggeration might be understood   Lying to me, darling, well, that just ain't no good      Well, it don't have to be different, it don't have to be new   If you got something to tell me, well, it better be true   No, it don't have to be clever between me and you   If it's gonna be forever, it better be true   How long? Gonna be forever, it better be true      If you feel like telling me that you will never leave me   Well, don't you dare deceive me 'cause that will never do      Well, it don't have to be different, it don't have to be new   If you got something to tell me, well, it better be true   No, it don't have to be clever between me and you   If it's gonna be forever, it better be true   How long? Gonna be forever, it better be true   Better be true      If you got something to tell me, better be true   It better be true, better be true   If it's gonna be forever, better be true   It better be true
