I don't mind, rushing through traffic just to get dinner ready in time
|
I don't mind, rushing through traffic just to get dinner ready in time
|
And I, don't mind, calling when I'm late just to give you peace of mind
|
And I, don't mind, you staying out all night long hanging with the guys
|
But I do mind, when you look me right dead in the eye and you tell me lies
|
|
You see it pays to tell the truth and look at what you had to loose
|
Should think before you do, did you not know the rules?
|
You see it pays to tell the truth, feel so sorry for you
|
You could have had it all, too bad you gotta fall
|
Now you live, now you live with zero
|
Nothing, now you live with zero, nothing nada
|
Now you live with zero
|
You see it pays to tell the truth but you didn't do it
|
Nothing, now you live with zero, nothing nada
|
Now you live with zero
|
Now you live with zero
|
You see it pays to tell the truth
|
|
Oh why I tried, giving you chances just to get your act right
|
And I, I tried, everything from praying to getting things
|
For getting out of line
|
Those tears I've cried, it hurts so deep inside
|
That almost drained me dry
|
But now, it's time, for you to man up cause I'm taking back what's mine
|
|
You see it pays to tell the truth and look at what you had to loose
|
Should think before you do, did you not know the rules?
|
You see it pays to tell the truth, feel so sorry for you
|
You could have had it all, too bad you gotta fall
|
Now you live, now you live with zero
|
Nothing, now you live with zero, nothing nada
|
Now you live with zero
|
You see it pays to tell the truth but you didn't do it
|
Nothing, now you live with zero, nothing nada
|
Now you live with zero
|
Now you live with zero
|
You see it pays to tell the truth
|
|
I lie just to protect you, never to disrespect you
|
Cause what we have was so 38 special
|
And it was times that I heard niggas test you
|
But I ain't even ask, I was waiting to catch you
|
But you caught me and everything was on me
|
It was time to face the music, everything was on key
|
And them lies sounded good, didn't it
|
Now you sick of me, now I'm supposed to leave with zero, is you kidding me?
|
One minus one equals none
|
And if you gonna live then you might live with some
|
But you gonn think about me everytime you see my son
|
And I'ma think about you everytime I see the sun, in the morning
|
It's gonna be times we get caught up in the moment
|
But don't turn your back on your man you belong with
|
Cause if you loose then I loose too
|
And if you cool then I'm cool too
|
|
Now you live, now you live with zero
|
Nothing, now you live with zero, nothing nada
|
Now you live with zero
|
You see it pays to tell the truth but you didn't do it
|
Nothing, now you live with zero, nothing nada
|
Now you live with zero
|
Now you live with zero
|
You see it pays to tell the truth.
