I Know The Truth - Lyrics by Janet Jackson


Lyrics
[
Elton]

How have I come to this?

How did I slip and fall?

How did I throw half a lifetime away

Without any thought at all?

This should've been my time

It's over, it never began

Facing a world, for once not on my side
I simply turned and ran
I try to blame it on fortune

Some kind of shift in a star

But I know the truth and it haunts me

Its flown just a little too far
I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me

Oh, Its flown just a little too far

Yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yes

[
Janet]

People had faith in me
I think I once did too
I promise whoever has a hold on our lives
I'll see the bad times through

This should have been my time

It's over, it never began

Facing a world, for once not on my side
I simply turned and ran
I try to blame it on fortune

Some kind of twist in my fate
I know the truth and it haunts me
I learned it a little too late
I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me
I learned it a little too late

[
Both]
I try to blame it on fortune

Some kind of twist in my fate(
But) I know the truth and it haunts me
I learned it a little, a little too late
I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me

Oh, oh, yeah, I learned it a little too late

[
Elton]

Yeah-e-yeah

[
Janet]

Yes I did, ooh
