Tell the Truth
Unveiling Desires: Paul Gilbert's Candid Truth in 'Tell the Truth'
Lyrics
All I want to
Desire for a specific action
Do is dance
Expressing a desire to dance
All I want is
Desire for a connection with someone
What's inside your pants
Expressing a desire for intimacy
Sometimes it's uncouth
Acknowledging that honesty can be socially inappropriate
To tell the truth
Emphasizing the difficulty of being truthful in certain situations
If you ask me
Openness to answering questions truthfully
I will confess
Willingness to admit to something
All I want is
Expressing a desire for intimacy (similar to line 4)
What's inside your dress
Expressing a desire for a connection with someone (similar to line 3)
Sometimes it's uncouth
Reiteration of the challenges of being truthful
To tell the truth
Reiteration of the difficulty in telling the truth
I don't want to
Expressing a lack of interest in conversation
Sit here and talk
Desire to avoid talking and engage in a preferred activity
All I want to
Reiteration of the desire for a specific action (similar to line 1)
Do is
Emphasis on the desire to engage in a preferred activity (dance)
Sometimes it's uncouth
Highlighting the social challenges of honesty
To tell the truth
Reiteration of the difficulty in being truthful
