The Honest Truth Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why, you won't believe what happened
Last night on my way home
I stopped at Joe's to have a drink
And to call you on the phone
Then I met Bill and Harry
And both of them bought a round
Before I knew what happened
My head was spinning 'round

[Verse 2]
From a booth back in the corner
This blonde gave me a glance
And I don't know why I did it
But I asked her to dance
Then Harry played the jukebox
And we all sang along
We were having so much fun
How could I think of home?

[Chorus]
Think of home, think of home
We were having so much fun
How could I think of home?

[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Then I said something awful
To a stranger at the bar
The next thing I remember
They'd carried me to the car
And I know it sounds ridiculous
And you think I'm just talking smooth
But that's exactly how it happened
And honey, that's the honest truth

[Outro]
Honey? Now, honey. It's the truth! Really! Honest!
Baby, put down that gun! I'm not lying!
Ask Harry! Ask Bill! Ask anybody!
*six gunshots*

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
