True value
Tell me are you certified true
True value
Tell me are you certified true

Hit and run, carried none
That's how it used to be
Until I slipped and tripped
And lost grip
Put a hurting on me

Now I've been convinced ever since
Now I'm a wise old man, well
It ain't no fun when the one
That you love slips out of your hands

If you want your love to stay around
Don't play around
It's up to you to be true
That makes you, oh

Certified true, baby, baby
Certified true (certified)
Certified true
Now tell me what about you

I'm certified true
I'm certified true (say what)
I'm certified true
I'm certified true

I'm like no other
I don't play no games
I've passed every test
In love's name

I've got a heart of gold
If you'll just be true
I won't ever stop
I'm good to the last drop

If you want your love to stay around
Don't play around, be like me
It's up to you to be true
That makes you, oh

Certified true, baby, baby
Certified true (certified)
Certified true
Tell me, baby, are you

Certified true
What about you
Certified true
What you gonna do

I'm certified true
I'm certified true
I'm certified true
I'm certified true

You know you're certified
Know you search your mind
Be like me
It's not hard to do
It's all up to you

That makes you, oh
Certified true value
You can't put a value on me
'Cause I'm certified and riding high
Can't put a value on me, oh, girl

I'm certified true
I'm certified true
Say it again
I'm certified true
I'm certified true
Are you certified true, yeah

True value
True value
True value
True value

Certified true
Baby, baby, certified true
I'm certified (certified)
True (certified true, yeah)
