Jones, George - The Cold Hard Truth Lyrics






You Don't know who I am
But I know all about you
I've come to talk to you tonight
About the things I've seen you do.

I've come to set the record straight
I've come to shine the light on you
Let me introduce myself
I'm the cold hard truth.

There is a woman we both know
I think you know the one I mean
She gave her heart and soul to you
You gave her only broken dreams

You say your not the one to blame
For all the heartaches she's been though
I say you're nothing but a liar
And I'm the cold hard truth.

All your life that's how it's been
Lookin' out for number one
Takin' more than you give
Movin' on when you're done.

With her you could have had it all
A family and love to last
If you had any sense at all
You'd go and beg her to come back.

You think that you're a real man
But you're nothing but a fool
The way you run away from love
The way you try to play it cool

I'm gonna say this just one time
Time is running out on you
You best remember me my friend
I am the cold hard truth.

You best remember me my friend
I am the cold hard truth....

  46. J.... M....

    Oh God, it's happening again. I've been swallowed up in the George Jones YouTube vortex.

    It happens all the time. I sign on to YouTube to listen to a particular George Jones tune that's been stuck in my head. Then I see listing on the right of the screen and am reminded of another gem by the Possum and I just have to listen to it. And then another...and another...and another....

    Before I know it, it's 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning and I've been listening for hours. Which would be great except that I have to get up for work in a few hours. Oh well.

  47. J.... G....

    He was a gambler, he gambled our future away. Because of his illness I ended up spending twevry years alone... Wish he had known the damage he was doing

I told her when we met I wouldn't ever play second fiddle to anyone, she didn't listen either. Guess it's the cold hard truth, and it hurts worst when ya know its true! Live it down? No ya never get over the one ya know yer meant to be with.. Thats heart ache kids...simple blue ol broken lonely heart...
