Truly Yours - The Temptations

I could read between the lines, though you thought it better not to use the

word good-bye

And I struggled to hold my pride, finally I broke down and I cried

Your letter ended truly yours.

but you’re no longer truly, truly mine

And though you signed it truly yours, you’re no longer truly, truly mine.

I’m left behind.

Now it’s painfully clear, that you’ve been concealing your feelings behind lies

And I feel so foolish to have ever believed you and to think I even tried

But the one thing I’ll never understand, how’d you find the nerve to take a pen

in your hand

And sign the letter truly yours, when you know that you were never truly mine.

How did you sign it truly yours, when you know that were never truly mine,

just merely lying

Truly yours, oh yeah, that’s what the letter said;

Truly yours, saddest words I

ever read

Although you’re gone and I’m ma left all alone and we are far apart

The shell of a man that took his scars behind you, to love you with all of his

heart

But the one thing I’ll never understand, how’d you find the nerve to take a pen

in your hand

And sign the letter truly yours, when you know that you were never truly mine.

How did you sign it truly yours, when you know that were never truly,

truly mine.

Truly yours but you’re no longer truly, truly mine

Though you signed it truly yours, you’re no longer truly, truly mine.
