The Ugly Truth - Ricky Warwick

I’ve got a friend spent some time in jail

Told me he wishes he was back in his old cell

It’s cold outside the darkness never flows

And he can’t hide from the ugly truth

I know a girl who’s got an ivory heart

She loves in vain and it’s leaving needle marks

Says it getting hurt changes everything

And she can’t hide from the ugly truth

Hallelujah

We shall understand some sunny day

Hallelujah

Till then we’ll keep our troubles locked away

Try to hide from the ugly truth

But we can’t hide from the ugly truth

I saw the devil talkin' on TV men of the people

It what he claims to be

Surely hell is coming

Jesus please save us cause we can’t hide

From the ugly truth

Hallelujah

We shall understand some sunny day

Hallelujah

Till then we’ll keep our troubles locked away

Try to hide from the ugly truth

But we can’t hide from the ugly truth

I met a man he’s got a secret soul

He kept his diamonds in a mind

As black as coal found him true love

And got his dreams paroled

Now I can’t hide from the ugly truth

Hallelujah

We shall understand some sunny day

Hallelujah

Till then we’ll keep our troubles locked away

And try to hide from the ugly truth

But we can’t hide from the ugly truth
