Strangers Will Tell You The Truth

from Third Guessing by John Dunbar

/

lyrics

They don't know what you're staying away from
As you deflect
They don't know when it's better to play dumb
Or what to reject
Mentioning the unmentionables
And paying close attention to the minor flaws and major ills
It isn't that they're not being gracious
They're just being just
Their views are far from mendacious
You're forced to trust
They disregard all delicacy
Who knows why they feel the need to tell you all they think and see
They'll tell you who you resemble
Then your mind starts to tremble
'Cause strangers will tell you the truth
Strangers will tell you the truth

You learn what kind of impression
You truly make
Watch it lead to straight depression
One you can't shake
You won't hear one word that's a gem
Now you know why you've been told that you should never talk to them
After you hear them describing
You'll soon be imbibing
'Cause strangers will tell you the truth
Strangers will tell you the truth
Their views are purely unslanted
And new doubts are planted
'Cause strangers will tell you the truth
Strangers will tell you the truth
Honesty can be offending
And will take years of mending
'Cause strangers will tell you the truth
