about

Medium tempo bluesy kind if song with a some nice sax playing contributed by Bill Hauser

lyrics

Like the mirror that says you're pretty .
Like the rock beneath the city .
Like the gum that stubbornly clings to your shoe.
Like a hapless bird of prey .
Like a dog trained not to stray.
I am true.
Yes I am true .

I am not molded to perfection .
I don't make the right selections
I don't always finish things that I intend to do .
I sometines roam around.
Drink myself into the ground .
But I am true .
Yes, I 'm true

I am true.
I will follow you .
Cause I want to be true .
True to you .

I might fall deep in debt .
Not cover all my bets .
But I always the bills when they come due.
I may not reveal my passion .
I may be out of fashion.
But I am true.
Yes I am true .

You may think that I cheat .
That I am indiscreet .
But you know , it's just my weakness shining through .
I can't be good all of the time .
But I always pay the fine .
Cause I am true .
Yes I'm true.

I am true.
I will follow you .
Cause I want to be true .
True to you .

Now you can make me angry .
Play little tricks on me.
But if you leave me, I don't know what I'll do .
Throw away my 4 leaf clover .
Let a train run me over .
Cause I am true,
Yes I'm true .
