The Truth

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

Because his light, it shines so bright, I wouldn't lie (No)

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, maybe he was my wife

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

'Cause it's not hard for me to understand him

'Cause 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

Because his light, it shines so bright, I wouldn't lie (No)

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 blessin' 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

Because his light, it shines so bright, no

I love the way he speaks

I love the way he thinks

I love the way that 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 talkin' about?

That's the way I feel

(And I always will)

There ain't no substitute for the truth

Either it is or it isn't

('Cause he is the truth)

You see, the truth, it needs no proof

Either it is or it isn't

('Cause he is the truth)

Now you know the truth by the way it feels

And if I am a reflection of him

Then I must be fly

Because he is, yes, he is

I wonder, does he know?
