As a little girl, your daddy knew
When something wasn't right
With wide blue eyes and cautious smiles
You held your secrets tight
But now I'm the one in your life
And there's something that you ought to know
I will be there when you need to bare your soul

You don't have to lie to me tonight
And if you must cry to me that's alright
Just give me what's in your heart
The truth is good enough
When love was just a mystery
That's when I met you

A fairy tale of innocence
You made my dreams come true
Now as a woman you stand
But sometimes you can't stand alone
Don't be afraid if there's something
That I ought to know

You don't have to lie to me tonight
And if you must cry to me that's alright
And if you can cry, why can't I
I'm not so tough
Just give me what's in your heart
The truth is good enough
Truth is more than a game we are playin'
More than just words we are sayin'
Truly what love's all about

You don't have to lie to me tonight
And if you must cry to me that's alright
And if you can cry, why can't I
I'm not so tough
Just give me what's in your heart
The truth is good enough
