Johnny, your pockets are filled to the brim
Don't they have bags at that store you were in?
You know I'd buy anything that you need
What is this hunger that food cannot feed?
I don't care what happened, I just don't want to hear a lie
I learned the hard way to tell it straight is the lesser crime
You're almost out of time So make up your mind- well is it
Truth or trouble?
You know it's truth or trouble
Johnny's the boss of a big company
He's grown up, he no longer answers to me
He spins extravagant tales of success
Can't believe he thinks that I don't hear the rest
You tell your workers you'll soon make good on
Last month's pay
Meanwhile your maid says they came to take
Your Porsche away
You kept some wolves at bay
But soon they too will play because it's
Truth or trouble
You know it's truth or trouble
Watcha gonna do now, Johnny
Watcha gonna do when the chips are down?
Watcha gonna do now, Johnny
I can tell ya life has got a way of runnin' us out of town
I love you, Johnny, this can't be how you want to live
I think you see now that what you said isn't what you did
It's like when you were a kid
You get what you give so is it
Truth or trouble?
You know it's truth or trouble
