They say that I'm the kind of man who always speaks his mind To me, there's nothin' stronger than the truth They can ask me almost anythin' and I'll tell it like it is But darlin' when they ask me about you I tell it like it used to be when you were still in love with me Before you got too used to me and wanted someone new I tell it like it ought to be 'cause how it is, is killin' me When they ask about you and me, I tell it like it used to be I wish that I was stronger I could tell them that you're gone But that's one thing that I may never do If they want to hear about our love And how it all went wrong Then darlin' they'll just have to talk to you I tell it like it used to be when you were still in love with me Before you got too used to me and wanted someone new I tell it like it ought to be 'cause how it is, is killin' me When they ask about you and me, I tell it like it used to be I tell it like it used to be when you were still in love with me Before you got too used to me and wanted someone new I tell it like it ought to be 'cause how it is, is killin' me When they ask about you and me, I tell it like it used to be
