[Intro]

Doo, doo, doo, doo-ooh-hoo

Lady, would you please be my (My)

Subject

(Subject, my subject, yeah, yeah, come on)

Doo, ooh, oh

Doo, mm-hmm, oh, mmm

Doo, ooh-hoo, oh yeah, mm-hmm, oh

Doo, I, I, I

Doo, ooh

Doo, ooh-hoo

[Chorus]

I lied, I said you were the truth

You took it as the truth

And now I got you, but I don't want you like that

There only lives one love

And of that you can't compare to

And that's the bare-naked truth

[Verse 1]

You knew and I knew

But you didn't want to hear

What I didn't want to tell you

Now we've got hard times

And now there's no love at home

When separate we feel so alone

But we can't stand to be

Together to talk about it

We had time, to I-N-C

Our thoughts instead of our bodies

This can't be love

What if we produced a shorty

Would hard times would still be visual

Within this love, within our love

This can't be love

And that's the bare-naked

[Chorus]

You took it as the truth

And now I got you, but I don't want you like that

There only lives one love (There only lives one love)

And of that you can't compare to

And that's the bare-naked truth

[Verse 2]

I said you were the truth (Oh)

You took it as the truth

We can't stand to be

Together, to talk about it

But we can't stand to be

Apart long enough to heal this thing, baby

You and I started off good

Findin' time to spend time

I said what you wanted to hear

Now you need to know that

[Chorus]

I lied, I said you were the truth

You took it as the truth

And now I got you, but I don't want you like that

There only lives one love

And of that you can't compare to

And that's the bare-naked truth

And you need to take that as a truth

[Verse 3]

If our words were truly fact

We probably still wouldn't have love

But we would love what we had

But we don't, reality is we lied

Now you and I must say goodbye

Can't you see the bare-naked start to speak

[Outro]

I'm a young man (Yeah), the world is mine

I should've been (Ooh), straight with you from the beginnin' (Mm-hmm)

You probably wasn't even lookin' for a man (Mmm, oh)

This time has been no doubt interestin' (Ooh)

But now that (Mmm) we broke up, I'm thinkin' this might've been love

This coulda been love, damn, what the f—, it's just my luck

[Skit]

Need somethin' like, need some mo' west

Some mo' West Coast

Y'know I'm sayin'? Like some

Nah, man, like, like this
