Koob lal lok wot

A smoky jazz ballad inspired by the lost 1929 film The Awful Truth. A couple suspects each other of cheating, breaks apart, and tries new romances—only to discover they’re still in love with each other. With sly lyrics and torch-song style, this tune captures the wit, heartbreak, and charm of classic nightclub jazz.

LYRICS
(C)2025 Ggreg Snyder

[Verse 1]
We traded glances, then we traded doubt,
Each little whisper turned inside out.
I swore you were straying, you swore it too,
But the awful truth is… I’m still in love with you.

[Verse 2]
We played our parts in somebody new,
Danced through the evenings, smiled on cue.
But each time the lights fell soft on the room,
The awful truth lingered, it bloomed and it bloomed.

[Chorus]
The awful truth, it shadows the night,
No matter who’s holding me tight.
I laugh and I flirt, but it just won’t do—
The awful truth is, I only want you.

[Verse 3]
At every party, we’d circle the floor,
Talking ‘bout nothings, and then talking more.
Funny how strangers just fade from view,
When the awful truth is standing there with you.

[Chorus]
The awful truth, it’s bitter and sweet,
Each time our eyes chance to meet.
We may pretend, but it still shines through—
The awful truth is, I only want you.

[Bridge]
Suspicion made us blind,
Coincidence unkind…
But love has a way
Of rewinding the play,
To show us what’s real, come what may.

[Final Chorus]
The awful truth, it cut us in two,
But here we are, starting anew.
Let others judge, but we always knew—
The awful truth is… I only want you.
