[Verse 1] Teacher says, “Does anybody know?” Twenty heads suddenly hanging low I raise my hand, everybody groans Guess the truth has a sound of its own You ask me, “Does this outfit work?” I could lie, but that feels worse Don't ask questions you don't want answered I didn't write the test, I'm just faster [Pre-Chorus] Call me difficult Call me uncouth But if you're asking me... You're getting the truth [Chorus] Extra credit for honesty Put a little gold star next to me I don't sugarcoat, I don't make excuses I'm not rude, I'm just graded on truth Check yes, check no Baby, that's the way it goes You can hate my answer if you choose I'm not rude, I'm just graded on truth [Verse 2] He says, “Do you think she likes me?” I say, “Honestly? Probably not.” He says, “Wow, that was kinda harsh” Well, you asked... Thanks a lot Principal says, “Who started this?” Everybody suddenly forgets I point left, she points right Somebody's getting detention tonight [Pre-Chorus] Maybe diplomacy Isn't my best suit But give me multiple choice... I'm choosing the truth [Chorus] Extra credit for honesty Put a little gold star next to me I don't sugarcoat, I don't make excuses I'm not rude, I'm just graded on truth Check yes, check no Baby, that's the way it goes You can hate my answer if you choose I'm not rude, I'm just graded on truth [Bridge, percussion strips down] Pencil... tap Locker... slam Desk... knock Here I am True or false? Pick one, please You want the truth? That's extra credit from me. [Final Chorus] Extra credit for honesty Straight A personality No fake smile, no convenient excuses I'm not rude, I'm just graded on truth Check yes, check no Everybody already knows You can love my answer or refuse I'm not rude, I'm just graded on truth [Outro] Teacher, can I go now? ...I finished early.
