Anything 'Cept the Truth
Dancing Shadows and Midnight Confessions: Unraveling the Secrets in 'Anything 'Cept the Truth'
Lyrics
Ask me why I came so late
Arriving late, reason undisclosed
Ask me why I made you wait
Making someone wait, without explaining
Here's a story
Introducing a story or explanation
That you ought to know
Sharing essential information
I had a little fight
Engaged in a physical altercation
I was dancing at a go-go
Dancing at a go-go, a type of club or venue
I'll tell you anything
Willing to disclose any information
Baby, except the truth
Except for the truth, avoiding honesty
I'll tell you anything
Reiteration of willingness to share except the truth
Baby, except the truth
Continued reluctance to reveal the truth
I've got nothing
Expressing having nothing tangible
But everything to prove
Claiming to have everything to prove
I only smile when I tell a lie
Admitting to smiling only when lying
I swear the only one tonight
Swearing to be the only one lying that night
Ask me if I can be true
Challenging the question of fidelity
Ask me where I'm going to
Questioning about future plans or destinations
I say I love you
Professing love with a hint of uncertainty
But you ought to know
Emphasizing love for the night
I only love the night
Expressing the need to go-go (leave or move)
And I always got's to go-go
Reiterating a preference for nightlife
I'll tell you anything
Repeating the willingness to share anything but the truth
Baby, except the truth
Reiterating the refusal to disclose the truth
