Truth Or A Lie Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

I have just cheated and I know I was wrong 

But temptation found me when I wasn't strong 

Oh I chanced a lifetime for one careless night 

Shall I tell her the truth and break her heart 

Or spare her the sorrow and tell her a lie 

Could she live with the truth could I live with a lie 

Could she forgive me should I ask her to try 

Oh what will I say when I'll go home tonight 

Shall I tell her the truth and break her heart 

Or save her the sorrow and tell her a lie 

[ steel ] 

Can she live with the truth can I live with a lie can she forgive me is she willing to try 

Oh what will I say when I'll face her tonight 

Will I tell her the truth and break her heart 

Or spare her the sorrow and tell her a lie what will it be the truth or a lie
