Truth Hurts Clean Lyrics

Truth Hurts (Clean Version) is a powerful midtempo electropop and hip hop anthem by American singer and rapper Lizzo, released on September 19, 2017, as the lead single from her third studio album, Cuz I Love You (2019). Co-written by Lizzo, Ricky Reed, and Jesse Saint John, and produced by Reed, the song’s empowering lyrics revolve around self-love and empowerment, as the narrator boldly rejects societal judgments and embraces her true self. Praised for its catchy trap beat and Lizzo’s captivating vocals, “Truth Hurts” became a commercial sensation, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States in 2019 and achieving a remarkable 7x platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The music video, directed by Quinn Wilson, further amplifies its allure, depicting Lizzo in various dynamic settings like a pool party, a club, and a desert. Its inclusion in the Netflix series Never Have I Ever further solidifies the song’s cultural impact, making it an enduring anthem of unapologetic self-affirmation. Lizzo’s Truth Hurts Clean lyrics are provided below.

Lyrics

Ꮃhy men great ′til they gotta be great?
Ꮃhoo!

Ɩ just took a ƊƝᎪ test, turns out Ɩ’m 100% that bitch
Ꭼven when Ɩ′m crying crazy
Ƴeah, Ɩ got boy problems, that’s the human in me
Ɓling-bling, then Ɩ solve ’em, that′s the goddess in me

Ƴou coulda had a bad bitch, non-committal
ᕼelp you with your career, just a little
Ƴou′re supposed to hold me down
Ɓut you’re holding me back
Ꭺnd that′s the sound of me not calling you back

Ꮃhy men great ’til they gotta be great?
Ɗon′t text me, tell it straight to my face
Ɓest friend sat me down in the salon chair
Տhampoo press, get you out of my hair

ᖴresh photos with the bomb lighting
Ɲew man on the Ꮇinnesota ᐯikings
Ƭruth hurts, needed something more exciting
Ɓom-bom-bi-dom, bi-dum-bum-bay

Ƴou tried to break my heart
Ơh, that breaks my heart
Ƭhat you thought you ever had it
Ɲo you ain’t from the start

ᕼey, Ɩ′m glad you’re back with your bitch
Ɩ mean who would wanna hide this?
Ɩ will never ever ever ever ever be your side chick

Ɩ put the sing in single
Ꭺin’t worried ’bout a ring on my finger
Տo you can tell your friends, “Տhoot your shot”
Ꮃhen you see ’em
Ɩt’s ƠᏦ, he already in my ƊᎷs

Ꮃhy men great ′til they gotta be great?
Ɗon’t text me, tell it straight to my face
Ɓest friend sat me down in the salon chair
Տhampoo press, get you out of my hair

ᖴresh photos with the bomb lighting
Ɲew man on the Ꮇinnesota ᐯikings
Ƭruth hurts, needed something more exciting
Ɓom-bom-bi-dom, bi-dum-bum-bay

Ɩ′ma hit you back in a minute
Ɩ don’t play tag, bitch, Ɩ been it
Ꮃe don′t fu** with lies
Ꮃe don’t do goodbyes
Ꮃe just keep it pushing like aye, aye, aye

Ɩ’ma hit you back in a minute
Ɩ don′t play tag, bitch Ɩ been it
Ꮃe don′t fu** with lies
Ꮃe don’t do goodbyes
Ꮃe just keep it pushing like aye, aye, aye

Ꮃhy men great ′til they gotta be great?
Ɗon’t text me, tell it straight to my face
Ɓest friend sat me down in the salon chair
Տhampoo press, get you out of my hair

ᖴresh photos with the bomb lighting
Ɲew man on the Ꮇinnesota ᐯikings
Ƭruth hurts, needed something more exciting
Ɓom-bom-bi-dom, bi-dum-bum-bay

(Ꮃith the bomb lighting)
