The Truth

India Arie

Let me tell you why I love him
Cuz he is the truth, said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am my reflection of him
Then I must be fly (fly) cuz his light (light), it shines so bright (bright)
I wouldn't mind (no)

I remember the very first day that I saw him
I found myself immediately intrigued by him
It's almost like I knew this man from another life
Like back then maybe I was his husband and maybe he was my wife
And even the things I don't like about him are fine with me
Cuz it's not hard for me to understand him cuz he's so much like me
And it's truly my pleasure to share his company
And I know it's God's gift to breathe the air he breathes

Cuz he is the truth, said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am my reflection of him
Then I must be fly (fly) cuz his light (light), it shines so bright (bright)
I wouldn't mind (no) (nooooooooo)

How can the same man that makes me so mad (Did you know what he did?)
Turn right around and kiss me so softly (Girl you know what he did?)
If he ever left me I wouldn't even be sad
Cuz there's a blessing in every lesson, and I'm glad that I knew him at all

Cuz he is the truth, said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am my reflection of him
Then I must be fly (fly) cuz his light (light), it shines so bright (bright)
(no)

I love the way he speaks
I love the way he thinks
I love the way he treats his mama
I love that gap in between his teeth
I love him in every way that I woman can love a man
From personal to universal but most of all it's unconditional
