We could color it,wrap it up,tie it with a bow

We could sugarcoat,or be polite,say it isn't so

We could watch a movie 'til it's late

Then turn out the lights

Oh,but somethin' in this pretty house

Just isn't right



So let the walls come down

Let it all fall down

Baby,make no excuse

I can't feel your love

Take off the kid gloves

And love me like you really do

By tellin' me the simple truth



Baby,lately we're on eggshells just tietoein' around

And the silence is so deafening,it drowns out sound

But the honesty,the deep emotions,what we know is real

So even if you're hurt and angry,tell me how you feel



So let the walls come down

Let it all fall down

Baby,make no excuse

I can't feel your love

Take off the kid gloves

And love me like you really do

By tellin' me the simple truth



Hey,what's goin' on in your head

This is me you're talkin' to

Let's get down to the heart of the matter

'Cause that's all that matters
