[Pre-Chorus 1]
I've been living with a lie for so long now, baby
I gotta set my soul free, I can't take it no more, no
That's why I gotta

[Chorus]
Sing and shout it, tell the world about it
The truth is sweet, yeah
Sing and shout it, tell the world about it
The truth is sweet

[Verse 1]
I made a promise to myself not to let nobody else
Have any sway on the way I lived my life
I didn't see the need to compromise but now I've come to realize
That living is more than just surviving

And I've been lying to myself, I gotta cover up what I feel
But now it's time I must admit this is real, this is real
The truth is sweet, so sweet
Just like honey from a bee, the truth is sweet

[Pre-Chorus 2]
So many people in the world let it all pass them by, pass them by
They won't admit they need rescued from their lonely lonely lonely lives
That's why we gotta
[Chorus]
Sing and shout it, tell the world about it
The truth is sweet yeah
Sing and shout it, tell the world about it
The truth is sweet

[Verse 2]
When you've been hurt so many times it's enough to make you blind
To anything that feels like true happiness
Nobody wants to be the foolish one but after all is said and done
You constantly settle for less

It's like a broken carousel, it just goes round and round and round
But now it's time that you admit you've lost ground
Hear that sound?
The truth is sweet
Just like a baby's kiss, the truth is sweet

[Bridge]
Go on admit it, you know you want it to be true
Go on admit it, you say you don't but you know you do
Go on admit it, you've been disguising what you feel
You might be living in a fantasy
But then that fantasy could turn out to be real
So real, so real, so real
Sweet and true like my love for you now baby, oh yeah
[Pre-Chorus 3]
And everybody in the world's gonna wake up some day, some sweet day
Singing love is the answer, love is the answer
What's left to say?
That's why I

[Chorus]
Sing and shout it, tell the world about it
The truth is sweet
Sing and shout it, tell the world about it
The truth is sweet

[Outro]
I'm going to tell the whole world how sweet it is
How sweet it is
Loving you baby
Sing and shout it, tell the world about it
The truth is sweet
That's why I sing and shout it
Tell the world, tell the world about it
The truth is sweet
Sing and shout it, tell the world about it
The truth is sweet
Sweet, so sweet
Sweet like Sunday morning
Sing and shout it, tell the world about it
The truth is sweet
And it's so sweet yeah
Sing and shout it, tell the world about it
The truth is sweet
Sing and shout it, tell the world about it
The truth is sweet
