I've been the truth to mom to make me not look so bad.

I may have fudged the facts when she made me go tell dad.

But I slip like a rock on my pillow of white lies.

Until it dawned on me that midnight, there's some things you can't hide.

Well, you can wrap a cat in a paper sack, but I pray you realize we can't pull the wool over the shepherd's eyes.

May as well go and tell the truth just like it is.

We ain't fooling no one thinking we got something to hide.

We can't tell him nothing that will take him by surprise.

But we can't pull the wool over the shepherd's eyes.

Yeah.

I've told my share of whoppers about some fish I never caught.

And I sold those tails to suckers to make me look like a big shot.

I've even turned a hole in four into a hole in one.

And I kissed some girls I never kissed when my lion lips were young.

I've justified blurring the lines between the wrong and right.

But I can't pull the wool over the shepherd's eyes.

May as well go and tell the truth just like it is.

Cause I ain't fooling no one thinking I got something hidden.

I can't tell him nothing that will take him by surprise.

No, I can't pull the wool over the shepherd's eyes.

Do do do do do do do

So we may as well go and tell the truth just like it is.

We ain't fooling no one thinking we got something here.

We can't tell him nothing that will take him by surprise.

No, we can't pull the wool over the shepherd's eyes.

No, we can't.
