Uh
Beggin' your pardon
And mind you, I ain't tryna start no debate (debate), no

But I got a question
Some of y'all gon' love, but surely some of y'all gon' hate

See, I've had women beg me for honesty
Then regret it 'cause the truth can be so mean

I've heard, keep it real, I've heard, lie to me
Which way do I go?
Do you even know?

You tell me that you don't wanna be lied to
But you get so mad when I tell you the truth

Honesty's all that I got
Girl, lyin' ain't doing you no favors

Hate me now, love me later
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Hate me now, love me later

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Hate me now, love me later

You're curious about the girl at the store
Is you serious? Do you really wanna know?

I'm all for you, but yeah, she was beautiful
And now you mad, that's just the way it goes

The truth can hurt, at first, you will reject it
But later on, I know you will respect it

So here's the deal (deal)
When you get out your feels (feels)
At least you can say I kept it real

You tell me that you don't wanna be lied to

But you get so mad when I tell you the truth
Honesty's all that I got

Girl, lyin' ain't doing you no favors
Hate me now, love me later

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Hate me now, love me later

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Hate me now, love me later

See, I've had women beg me for honesty
Then regret it, 'cause the truth can be so mean (be so mean)

I've heard, keep it real, I've heard, lie to me
Which way do I go?

Do you even know? (Hey)
You tell me that you don't wanna be lied to

But you get so mad when I tell you the truth (ayy)
Honesty's all that I got (all that I got)
Girl, lyin' ain't doing you no favors

Hate me now, love me later
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (ayy)

Hate me now, love me later

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Hate me now, love me later
