Tell em all Im on vacation
Say I went to visit friends
That you aint heard or seen from me in quite a while
When they ask you where Ive been
Tell em Im out on the West Coast, where it dont ever rain
And that Im probably doing fine
Just dont tell em Ive gone crazy
That Im still strung out over you
Tell em anything you want to
Just dont tell em all the truth
Yeah, dont tell em all the truth
Tell em all Im out in Vegas
Blowin every dollar I ever made
Tell em that I must be into something bad for me cause
I sure lost a lot of weight
Tell em Im out on the road with some old rock and roll band
Living like a gypsy can
Just dont tell em Ive gone crazy
That Im still strung out over you
Tell em anything you want to
Just dont tell em all the truth
Yeah, dont tell em all the truth
The truth is that Im asking you to lie
And we both know that it aint right
But if you ever loved me please
Have some mercy on me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell em anything you want to
Just dont tell em all the truth
Yeah, dont tell em all the truth
I still need you
Yeah, thats the truth
I still love you
Baby, thats the truth
