Tell them all I'm on vacation Say I went to visit friends That you ain't heard or seen from me in quite a while When they ask you where I've been Tell them I'm out on the west coast Where it don't ever rain And that I'm probably doing well Just don't tell them I've gone crazy That I'm still strung out over you Tell them anything you want to Just don't tell them all the truth Don't tell them all the truth Tell them all I'm out to Vegas Floating every dollar I ever made Tell them that I must be into something bad for me Cause I sure lost a lot of weight Tell them I'm out on the road With some old rock and roll band Living like a gypsy kid Just don't tell them I've gone crazy That I'm still strung out over you Tell them anything you want to Just don't tell them all the truth Don't tell them all the truth Truth is that I'm asking you to lie And we both know that it ain't right And if you ever love me please Have some mercy on me Tell them anything you want to Just don't tell them all the truth Don't tell them all the truth I still need you Yeah that's the truth I still love you Baby that's the truth
