[Intro]

Uh

[Verse 1]

Beggin' your pardon

And mind you, I ain't tryna start no debate, no

But I got a question

Some of y'all gon' love, but surely some of y'all gon' hate

See, I've had women beg me for honesty

Then regret it, 'cause the truth can be so mean

I've heard, "Keep it real," I've heard, "Lie to me"

Which way do I go? Do you even know?

[Chorus]

You tell me that you don't wanna be lied to

But you get so mad when I tell you the truth

Honesty's all that I got

Girl, lyin' ain't doing you no favors

Hate me now, love mе later

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Hate me now, lovе me later

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Hate me now, love me later

[Verse 2]

You're curious about the girl at the store

Is you serious? Do you really wanna know?

I'm all for you, but yes, she was beautiful

And now you mad, that's just the way it goes

The truth can hurt, at first you will reject it

But later on, I know you will respect it

So here's the deal, you get out your feels

At least you can say I kept it real

[Chorus]

You tell me that you don't wanna be lied to

But you get so mad when I tell you the truth

Honesty's all that I got

Girl, lyin' ain't doing you no favors

Hate me now, love me later

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Hate me now, love me later

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Hate me now, love me later

[Bridge]

See, I've had women beg me for honesty

Then regret it, 'cause the truth can be so mean

I've heard, "Keep it real," I've heard, "Lie to me"

Which way do I go? Do you even know? (Hey)

[Chorus]

You tell me that you don't wanna be lied to

But you get so mad when I tell you the truth (Ayy)

Honesty's all that I got (All that I got)

Girl, lyin' ain't doing you no favors

Hate me now, love me later

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Ayy)

Hate me now, love me later

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Hate me now, love me later
