It’s the truth It’s the dead truth The live truth It’s the live truth! Yeah, it´s better life, yeah
All along I’ve ignored what I’ve always known
That the chair I’ve been sitting on is a throne Affection kneels at the seat of my soul
Tell the truth it can’t get no better Swear to life it can’t get no better, oh no By the way, I’ve been meaning to thank ya By the way, I’ve been meaning to thank ya all along
(One love) One love, one love, one love, one love One love, one love, one love, one love (One love) One love, one love, one love, one love One love, one love, one love, one love
All along I was hoping understanding would be born
I was looking for knowledge to sing my song But now I know that I am wisdom on my own
Tell the truth it can’t get no better Swear to life it can’t get no better, oh no By the way, I’ve been meaning to thank ya By the way, I’ve been meaning to thank ya all along
(One love) One love, one love, one love, one love (One love) One love, one love, one love, one love (One love) One love, one love, one love, one love (One love) One love, one love, one love, one love
