Raju Doesn't Lie

Raju does not lie, that is his redeeming quality 

But sometimes he can touch a nerve with his brutal honesty 

He simply says what he is thinking even it's not not that nice 

This way of communicating is often looked at as child-like 

Raju does not lie, that is one thing you can depend on

It's what makes the trust his wife places on him and their bond so strong 

He tells her the truth even when it bears consequences for him

And she makes sure to be understanding and not get angry on a whim 

Raju does not lie, so he is often deemed unprofessional 

His style of talking can be course, unrefined and mistaken for conformational 

He is honest when he messes up, even to his superiors and bosses

And when that comes back to bite him in the behind, he simply cuts his losses 

Yes, Raju doesn't lie and that makes him a better man than most 

He would never dare to fib to make himself look better or to boast 

His children learned from him that honesty really can be the best policy 

And that matters to him much more than being able to lie to have it easy
