The Rubettes - Truth of the Matter

So you take the word of another
Without even consulting me
You're so sure that I've taken a lover
That I wanted to be free

But you don't know the truth of the matter
And it's right before your eyes
Cause the tears you made me scatter
Doesn't make much of a disguise

So you take back your love without warning
Never to hold you again
And crying you'd sit there till morning
With you bitterness and your pain

But you don't know the truth of the matter
And it's right before your eyes
Cause the tears you made me scatter
Doesn't make much of a disguise

I can never hurt you, believe me
I've always been true
Someone's telling you lies
Someone is blinding your eyes
If I call you friend, call me brother
It just don't seem right to me
'Cause you're more than a friend, you're a lover
That's the only way it should be

But you can't see the truth of the matter
And it's right before your eyes
Cause the tears you made me scatter
Doesn't make much of a disguise
