Porter Wagoner - Truth Or A Lie Lyrics

I have just cheated and I know I was wrong

But temptation found me when I wasn't strong

Oh I chanced a lifetime for one careless night

Shall I tell her the truth and break her heart

Or spare her the sorrow and tell her a lie

Could she live with the truth could I live with a lie

Could she forgive me should I ask her to try

Oh what will I say when I'll go home tonight

Shall I tell her the truth and break her heart

Or save her the sorrow and tell her a lie

[ steel ]

Can she live with the truth can I live with a lie can she forgive me is she willing to try

Oh what will I say when I'll face her tonight

Will I tell her the truth and break her heart

Or spare her the sorrow and tell her a lie what will it be the truth or a lie
