There was a time I would have
Thrown myself into your eyes
But time has made me wise
After all the alibis

What can you tell me?
I want to know you
What can you tell me
That's true?

I used to think that I was
Strong enough for ugly things
Like love in crushing cars
Or fights in trashy bars
And I have learned the truth
From bees with many stings
And what I need from you
Is whatever beauty brings

What can you tell me?
I want to know you
What can you tell me
That's true?
