Used to be a young gull , out on the hard streets 
Gettin' high on crystal, drinking scotch and smoking weed 
Daddy's wish used to be nothing less than my command 
Took a switch to my back, nailed me to a cross, both hands 

Mamma couldn't give me, the thing a young boy needs 
Instead of Mamma suffering, she was smart enough to leave 
Spend my life fighting, trying to stay free 
from trials and tribulations and the state penitentiary 

Hustled pool, really looking cool 
just making both ends meet 
Until that day I saw you walking 
down Blue Angel street 
The sweetest lies are lily white 
coming from your lips 
You brush away all my pain 
with a lazy finger tip 

It moves my heart just watching, the way you walk so smooth 
You save me from an evil fate, you steal away my blues 
Lyin' here in your arms, I don't need more proof 
Lyin' here safe and warm, it's just the naked truth 

This man loves you, this man loves you 
This man loves you, this man loves you 
That's the naked truth 
It's the naked truth 

Going down that graveyard spiral, there was nothing I could do 
Life treatin' me much harder, than a mean old corkscrew 
Lyin' here in your arms, I don't need more proof 
Lyin' here safe and warm, it's just the naked truth 

This man loves you, this man loves you 
this man loves you, this man loves you...
