Truly Yours Songtext
von The Temptations

"Truly yours"
That′s what the letter said
"Truly yours"
That's what the letter said

As I read the words written in your letter
The tears began to rise
I could read between the lines, though you thought it was better
Not to use the words, "Goodbye"
And as I struggled to hold my pride, suddenly I broke down and I cried
Your letter ended

"Truly yours"
When you know that you′re no longer truly mine
Though you signed it, "Truly yours"
And you know you're no longer truly, truly mine
I'm left behind


Now, it′s painfully clear that you can concealing
Your feelings behind lies
And I feel so foolish to have ever believed you
And to think I even cried
But that′s one thing I'll never understand
How you′d find the nerve to take a pen in your hand?
And sign your letter

"Truly yours"
When you know, you were never truly mine
How did you sign it "Truly yours"?
When you know, you know that you were never truly mine
Just mean you been lying

"Truly yours"
That's what the letter said
"Truly yours" (oh baby)
That′s what the letter said

Although you're gone and I′m left alone
And we are so, so far apart
The shell of a man that you discard behind
Still love you with all his heart baby
But the one thing I'll never-never understand
How to find the nerve to take a pen in your hand?
And sign your letter


"Truly yours"
And you know that you were never-never-never truly mine
How did you sign it "Truly yours" baby?
When you know, you know you were never truly mine

Oh baby
How did you sign it, truly yours?
How did you sign it, baby?

"Truly yours", that's how you signed it
When you know that you were never, truly mine
Though you signed it letters, "Truly yours"
And you know, you know you were never, truly mine
I′m left behind

Truly yours, that′s how you truly
Truly-truly when you know you were never truly mine baby
But it's better baby
