The Truth

The Truth - India.Arie

Let me tell you why I love him

Cause he is the truth

Said he is so real

And I love the way that he makes me feel

And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly cause

His light it shines so bright I wouldn't lie

I remember the very first day that I saw him

I found myself immediately intrigued by him

It's almost like I knew this man from another life

Like back then maybe I was his husband

And maybe he was my wife

And even, the things I don't like about him are fine with me

Because it's not hard for me to understand him

Because he's so much like me

And it's truly my pleasure to share his company

And I know that it's God's gift to breathe the air he breathes

Cause he is the truth

Said he is so real

And I love the way that he makes me feel

And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly cause

His light it shines so bright I wouldn't lie

How can the same man that makes me so mad

-do you know what he did-

Turn right around and kiss me so soft

-girl do you know what he did-

If he ever left me, I wouldn't even be sad, no

Cause there's a blessing in every lesson

And I'm glad that I knew him at all

Cause he is the truth

Said he is so real

And I love the way that he makes me feel

And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly cause

His light it shines so bright

I love the way he speaks

I love the way he thinks

I love the way he treats his mama

I love that gap in between his teeth

I love him in every way that a woman can love a man

From personal to universal but most of all it's unconditional

-you know what I'm talking about-

That's the way I feel

-and I always will-

There ain't no substitute for the truth

Either it is or isn't

You see the truth it, needs no proof

Either it is or it isn't

Now you know the truth by the way it feels

And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly

Cause he is yes he is

I wonder does he know
