Taking The Fifth (Part Two)

Lyrics by Hal Pollock
Vocals by Chris Weeks

There’s this lipstick on my collar

My wife insists I tell her all

I was gonna take the Fifth

Or to say I don’t recall

But I’ve decided to come clean

It’s the best thing I can do

‘Cause the answer is quite innocent

I’m sure you’ll believe me too

There’s this girl who tried to kiss me

Had to duck so she would miss

Now there’s lipstick on my collar

It’s all as simple as just this

I swear that’s the truth my darling

There’s no need to scream or shout

‘Cause I never would betray you

That’s just not what I’m about

Taking the Fifth

It’s not the only thing to do

I can’t recall

Will get the best of you

Just tell the truth

The truth will set you free

‘Cause if you tell the truth

You’ll be happy just like me

I don’t need to take the Fifth

Or to say I don’t recall

That’s the way it really happened

It’s the whole truth after all

I am like a new born baby

Pure as the driven snow

How could you ever doubt me?

That’s just something I don’t know

And if you don’t believe me

You can call the girl I met

She wrote her number on my hand

Here so I never would forget

Mark Twain said if you tell the truth

You don’t have to remember anything

Some good advice to keep you

Out of marriage counseling

So if this happens to you brother

You just say the glove don’t fit

‘Cause that is my whole story

And I’m stickin’ right to it
