Truth

Janet Jackson

How did I get here
Think I know what I did
Always worked real hard 
Maybe I missed something
I'm not into pointing fingers 
Showin who's right or wrong
I just wanna keep it real
Cause maybe I was doin fine on my own

Listen
I had a career before, now didn't I
I had lots of friends before, now didn't I
And I had my fans before, now didn't I 
And I had my family before, now didn't I 

Guess without you
My little life was nothing
But don't sweat it 
Let's say we disagree so
Arguing ain't necessary cause
We both have our whole lives left to live
We're both consumed with jealousy
But the truth can set you free

Don't act like you don't know the truth (yeah, yeah…)
Cause deep down in your heart you do (yeah, yeah…)
Let it go
Ooh, child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh, child 
Things will be bright cause
Truth will set you free

Conversations deep 
When you talk to yourself
There's no way to cheat
Cause you know you can't be no one else
Won't trip out on disappointment
Cause failure is just not me
Still I gotta do my job
Cause you know my show can't go on without me

Listen
I had a career before, now didn't I, yeah
Sold out round the world before, now didn't I
I had a few hits before, now didn't I
And danced until my feet were sore, now didn't I

Guess without you
All my little life was nothing
But don't sweat it 
Let's say we disagree so
Arguing ain't necessary cause
We both have our whole lives left to live
Guess we consumed (sound) with jealousy, yeah
That but the truth can set you free

Don't act like you don't know the truth (yeah, yeah…)
Cause deep down in your heart you do (yeah, yeah…)
Let it go
Ooh, child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh, child 
Things will be bright cause
Truth will set you free

It's hard to believe
The love between us is over (da-da, da-da)
It's sad to think we couldn't work it out
But how much is enough to pay for this mistake
I hope your love was sincere

[Don't] don't act like you don't know the truth (yeah, yeah…)
[Act like you don't know the truth, baby]
