Lyrics
I’m just an old truth teller
I’m your candid friend
I’m not some daydream seller
I do not pretend
I’ve a sense of survival
And screwing my rivals
That’s labeled me crass and uncouth
But I can’t help it I just tell the truth
He can’t help it, he just tells the truth
I’m just an old truth teller
Brutally direct
I see it eye for eye
I’m rarely incorrect
Why call me a sharp trader
A corporate raider
I’m a role model for today’s youth
It’s so simple, I just tell the truth
He can’t help it, he just tells the truth
Why was I born to be right all the time
In deal after deal after deal
Foiling those sharks that are circling my penthouse
Hoping to make me a meal
No good deed goes unpunished
Nothing goes as planned
My ingrate family left me I don’t understand
Where’s your wife? In Alaska
Any sons? In Nebraska
And my daughter milks cows in Duluth
I can’t help it, I just tell the truth
Ohh he can’t help it, he just sells it
He can’t help it, he just tells it
I can’t help it, I just tell the truth
