The cold hard truth

You don't know who I am,
But 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 am the cold hard truth.

There is a woman we both know,
I think you know the one I mean.
She gave her heart and soul to you,
You gave her only broken dreams.
You say you're not the one to blame,
For all the heartache she's been through.
I say you're nothin' but a liar:
I am the cold hard truth.

All of your life, that's how it's been
Lookin' out for number one.
Takin' more than you give
Movin' on when you're done.
With her you could've had it all:
Family and love to last.
If you had any sense at all,
You'd go and beg her to come back.

You think that you're a real man,
But you are nothin' but a fool.
The way you run away from love
The way you try to play it cool.
I'm gonna say this just one time,
Time is running out on you.
You best remember me my friend:
I am the cold hard truth.

You best remember me my friend:
I am the cold hard truth.
