The Truth Lyrics

I've got an offer to make you
There's something I want to put to you
But before I propose anything

Is there a sweater of yours I can study in
A windbreaker when exams hit
But before you select anything

I want to learn a new language with you
Discuss topical events in French with you
But before we say anything

I want to propagate wildflowers with you
California poppies with you
But before we plant anything

You should know why the kids taunted me
Why I was big with the bullies
But before we bleed anything

Let's go night-swimming
Naked water-sports for two
But before we dip our feet in

Before you look good on me
Before you make a move
I need the truth and nothing but the truth
