Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis
Just The Facts
[Intro]
(“Facts”) Just the facts
Just the facts
(“Just the facts if you don’t mind, ma’am”)

[Verse 1]
No time for chit-chat
Just reply, don’t waste my time
When I need answers
To the questions that arise

[Pre-Chorus]
Get to the point
All I really want to know is just the facts

[Chorus]
Just the facts
That’s all I wanna know (Just the facts)
Just the facts, that’s all I need to know
All I want is just the facts

[Verse 2]
Lengthy explanation
I need places, dates, and times

[Pre-Chorus]
What’s the story?
All I really want to know is just the facts
[Chorus]
Just the facts
That’s all I wanna know (Just the facts)
Just the facts, I ain’t gon’ ask for more
All I want is just the facts

[Bridge]
I’m on the case
I don’t wanna waste my energy, no no
And wasting time gets a maximum penalty
When goodness returns, justice is done
All I wanna know is just the… *gunshots*…facts

[Guitar solo]

Just the facts
(“Just the facts if you don’t mind, ma’am”)
Just the facts
(“Just the facts if you don’t mind, ma’am”)
Just the facts

Don’t hesitate, just give me what I want
Time to respond, baby; get right to the point
To solve this case, busted in the act
All I really need, is just the facts
I’m on the case
I don’t wanna waste my energy, no no no no no
And wasting time gets a maximum penalty
If goodness returns, justice is done
All I wanna know is just the…*gunshots*…facts

All I really know (All I want is just the facts)
Just the facts, that’s all I want
(All I want is just the facts)

(Get to the point) Tell me, tell me baby
(All I want is just the facts)
(What’s the story?)
(All I want is just the facts) Just the facts
All I want to know is just the facts
(All I want is just the facts) Just the facts
(All I want is just the facts)

Give me just the facts; ooh, ooh, just the facts (Repeat until end)
