Lyrics: /1st Verse
I’m just an old truth teller
I’m your candid friend
I’m not some daydream seller
I do not pretend
I’ve a sense of survival
And screwing my rivals
That’s labeled me crass and uncouth
But I can’t help it I just tell the truth
/
He can’t help it, he just tells the truth
/ 2nd Verse
I’m just an old truth teller
Brutally direct
I see it eye for eye
I’m rarely incorrect
Why call me a sharp trader
A corporate raider
I’m a role model for today’s youth
It’s so simple,
I just tell the truth
/
He can’t help it, he just tells the truth
/ Bridge
Why was I born to be right all the time
In deal after deal after deal
Foiling those sharks that are circling my penthouse
Hoping to make me a meal
/ 3rd Verse
No good deed goes unpunished
Nothing goes as planned
My ingrate family left me
I don’t understand
/
Where’s your wife?
/
In Alaska
/
Any sons?
/
In Nebraska
And my daughter milks cows in Duluth
I can’t help it, I just tell the truth
/
Ohh he can’t help it,
/
he just sells it
/
He can’t help it, he just tells it
/
I can’t help it,
I just tell the truth
