The Word

You said your man had up and gone

I said the word

Bound to leave me scorned

Don't believe a word until it's true

Don't believe a word until it's true

You said that our love was all wrong

I said the word

To keep me from your door

I can testify without a word

I need you by my side

Never will I see the sun kiss the ground

Only hot tin roofs burning down

Don't believe a word until it's true

Don't believe a word until it's true
