Emotional Truth
Tom Cochrane · Mad Mad World [1992]
Let her see the beat
Around the world for emotional truth
Waited out here for so long
Wanna let love liberate you
Don't you need emotional truth
I don't want to fake it no more
Comin' in for emotional truth
You don't have to take it no more
Come on home for emotional truth
Watch the sun set down on the sea
Set down then rise up again
Sure as that happens we need emotional truth
I've been driving out here for so long
A thin man in the rain
I'm comin' home for your emotional truth
I don't want to fake it no more
Comin' in for emotional truth
You don't have to take it no more
Let me in for emotional truth
Oh my soul my love
There's so many things I haven't told you
Oh my soul my love
Let me show you
I've seen her out there for so long
Like a ghost standing by the roadside
Reaching out for emotional truth
