Just the Facts

just give me the facts ma'am
that's all I need
the rest is just conjecture
the planting of a seed

did you see him or did you not
was he tall dark and handsome
did he steal away your heart
and now holding it for ransom

I cannot arrest your make believe
but I will follow every lead
you just have to tell the truth
did he make your torn heart bleed

I'll book him now apply the cuffs
throw him in the clink
it seems you are about to cry
at least you seem on the brink

but tears will not help me
they disguise the true known acts
so wipe your eyes my darlin'
just tell me the facts
