You don't know who I am,
I know all about you,
I've come to talk to you tonight,
About the things I've seen you do
I've come to set the record straight,
I've come to shine the light on you,
Let me introduce myself,
I'm the cold hard truth,
(verse 2)
All your life that's how it's been,
Looking out for number one,
Taking more than you give,
E A - E
With her you could have it all,
A family enough to last,
If you had any sense at all,
E A - E
(verse 3)
You think that you're a real man,
But you're nothing but a fool,
The way you run away from love,
The way you try to play it cool,
(verse 4)
I'm gonna say this just one time,
Time is running out on you,
You best remember me my friend,
I'm the cold hard truth,
You best remember my my friend,
I am the cold hard truth,
