The Truth

India.Arie · Voyage To India [2002]

Let me tell you why I love him



Cause he is the truth

Said he is so real

And I love the way

That he makes me feel

And if I am a reflection of him

Then I must be fly because

His light it shines so bright I wouldn't lie



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 & maybe he was my wife

And even the things I don't like about him are fine with me

Because it's not hard for me to understand him because he's so much like me

And it's truly my pleasure to share his company

And I know that it's god's gift to breathe

The air he breathes



Cause he's the truth

Said he is so real

And I love the way that he makes me feel

And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly cause

His light it shines so bright I wouldn't lie



How can the same man that makes me so mad

Do you know what he did

Turn right around and kiss me so soft

Girl so you know what he did

If he ever left me I wouldn't even be sad no

Cause there's a blessing in every lesson

And I'm glad that I knew him at all



Cause he is the truth

Said he is so real

And I love the way that he makes me feel

And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly because

His light it shines so bright



I love the way he speaks

I love the way he thinks

I love the way that he treat his mama

I love that gap in between his teeth

I love him in every way that a woman could love a man

From personal to universal but most of all

It's unconditional



You know what I'm taking about

That's the way I feel

And I always will



There ain't no substitute for the truth

Either it is or isn't

Cause he is the truth

You see the truth it needs no proof

Either it is or it isn't

Cause he is the truth

Now you know the truth by the way it feels

And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly

Cause he is yes he is

I wonder does he know
