The Marvelettes — The Truths Outside My Door

[Verse 1] Doorbell ringin', wow My future's waiting outside How can I explain Saying goodbye to an old flame The truth's outside my door [Verse 2] The engagement ring that I wear Is a promise my love will be true Or will he believe that's what I was telling you? I said the truth's outside my door [Chorus] If I don't answer, will he think that I'm gone? I'm not at home, yeah Or will he hear the records playing Loud and strong, oh baby, yeah [Verse 3] If I open up the door Will he get a false impression Or will he beliеve my true confession? I said thе truth's outside my door, baby Ooh [Chorus] Have I put our love in the danger zone? Does he know I'm home, baby Or will he notice if I stop the music From playing loud and strong Ooh, baby, baby [Verse 4] Can he hear me whisper low Saying you will have to go, no Or will he be a man And try and understand I said the truth's outside my door, ooh [Chorus] The doorbell is getting louder I know I got to face him Ah, will he turn away and say I disgraced him? Darling, the truth's outside our door [Outro] Ooh, the truth's outside my door, baby Ooh, the truth's outside my door, why don't you go home? Ooh, the truth's outside my door, just leave me alone Ooh, the truth's outside my door
