[Verse 1]
This evening really came as some surprise
It showed me just how little faith
I think back when you couldn't criticize
You sure were glad to see my face

[Chorus 1]
True colors giving away your lies
True colors seeing them in your eyes
True colors are giving away your lies
True colors seeing them in your eyes

[Post-Chorus]
Ahh, ah, ah, ah

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]
For you the tables turned full circle now
And all those people you call friends
See who defends you when you're down again
Don't count on money-spinners then

[Chorus 2]
True colors maybe you'll see them then
True colors twisting the knife again
True colors maybe you'll see them then
True colors twisting the knife again

[Post-Chorus]
Ahh, ah, ah, ah

[Bridge]
You did what you wanted to do
I lived to fight another day
And I know what I want you to do
Just pack your bags and get away
Away, away, away, away

[Chorus 1]
True colors giving away your lies
True colors seeing them in your eyes
True colors are giving away your lies
True colors seeing them in your eyes

[Post-Chorus]
Ahh, ah, ah, ah
