lyrics

YOU MIGHT BE TRUE
(à la Nick Lowe)

In a world where others are not even bothered
pulling wool over our eyes
they'll knit up a story but omit a sorry
Sincerity's a disguise
Yet you seem authentic and not egocentric
in the face all of this flies
I cannot help but surmise
You might be true
Oh
You might be true

You might be true
Oh please be
Anything else would just tease me

As I get less younger there grows a hunger
to find somebody to love
My capacity for lust is battling more rust
each time I'm "none of the above"
But you exude kindness, it's so rare to find this
I need to know what you are made of
Get set to release the doves
You might be true
Oh
You might be true

You might be true
Oh please be
Nothing would more please me

The head knows what the heart wants
and both dislike an ache
This time there is so much at stake

It might seem pathetic, and somewhat athletic
how I tie myself into knots
But since you hooked me and not overlooked me
emotions have been calling the shots
I'm helpless to resist when I am in your midst
like a puppy or a robot
This better not be ersatz
You might be true
Oh
You might be true

You might be true
Oh please be
Speak up, I'm getting uneasy

While the jury is still out, I better chill out
or risk starting over again
