Tell 'em all
I'm on vacation
Say I went to
visit friends
That you ain't
heard or seen
from me
in quite a while
When they ask you
where I've been
Tell 'em I'm out
on the West Coast
where it don't
ever rain
And that I'm probably
doin' fine
Just don't tell 'em
I've gone crazy hey
And I'm still
strung out over you...
Tell 'em anything
you want to
just don't tell 'em all
the truth
Don't tell 'em
all the truth
Tell 'em all
I'm out in Vegas
Blowin' every dollar
I ever made
Tell 'em that I must be
into something
bad for me 'cause
I've sure lost
a lot of weight
Tell 'em I'm out
on the road
with some old
rock 'n' roll band
livin' like a gypsy can
Just don't tell 'em
I've gone crazy hey
And I'm still
strung out over you
Tell 'em anything
you want to
just don't tell 'em all
the truth
Don't tell 'em all
the truth
The truth is
that I'm asking you
to lie
And we both know
that it ain't right
But if you ever
loved me please
have some mercy
on me.....
yeah yeah yeah
Tell 'em anything
you want to
just don't tell 'em all
the truth
Yeah don't
tell 'em all
the truth
I still need you
Yeah that's the truth
I still love you
Baby that's the truth
