Backstory:

Inspired by Jon Cleary's performance at the 2015 Po-Boy Festival in New Orleans                                                                                                                                                                         

Lyrics:

                                                  
IT AIN'T TRUE

A1
It Ain't True I said you were everything I could ask for in a woman
It Ain't True I promised the world I swore on my soul 'cause you know I wouldn't
That's not what happened oh no you know you put on quite a show
I knew I was right about you 'cause It Ain't True

A2
It Ain't True even if you're a nine outta ten looks can be deceiving
It Ain't True you're upset I bet those crocodile tears fall without feeling
It didn't take long to see all you'd do is make trouble for me
I knew I was right about you 'cause It Ain't True

B1
Saying whatever will cause the most pain a total fabrication
I'm amazed by your crazy messed up imagination
In less than a month you spent more than enough that ain't no exaggeration
You can cry you can moan just as long as you know
You can say what you want but that don't make it so

A3
It Ain't True if they only knew how you really feel and how you hide it
It Ain't True stop saying I did what I didn't I know what I didn't I know what I did
I walked into a trap I'm the one who should be mad
I knew I was right about you 'cause It Ain't True

[A] - piano solo

B2
Saying whatever will cause the most pain a total fabrication
I'm amazed by your crazy messed up imagination
In less than a month you spent more than enough that ain't no exaggeration
You can cry you can moan just as long as you know
You can say what you want but that don't make it so

A4
It Ain't True I said you were everything I could ask for in a woman
It Ain't True I promised the world I swore on my soul 'cause you know I wouldn't
That's not what happened oh no you know you put on quite a show
I knew I was right about you 'cause It Ain't True

TAG
It didn't take long to see all you'd do is make trouble for me
I knew I was right about you 'cause It Ain't True
Too bad I was right about you too bad so sad
Too bad woh-oh-woh-oh baby 'cause It Ain't True
