Asherah ([pronunciation?]; Ugaritic: 𐎀𐎘𐎗𐎚 : 'ṯrt; Hebrew: אֲשֵׁרָה), in Semitic mythology, is a Semitic mother goddess, who appears in a number of ancient sources including Akkadian writings by the name of Ashratum/Ashratu and in Hittite as Asherdu(s) or Ashertu(s) or Aserdu(s) or Asertu(s). Asherah is generally considered identical with the Ugaritic goddess Athirat (more accurately transcribed as ʼAṯirat).
She is identified as the wife or consort of the Sumerian Anu or Ugaritic El, the oldest deities of their pantheons. This role gave her a similarly high rank in the Ugaritic pantheon. The name Allat (Elat, Ilat) in the Sanchuniathon is clearly associated with Asherah, because the same common epithet of "the goddess par excellence," is used to describe her. The Book of Jeremiah written circa 628 BC possibly refers to Asherah when it uses the title "queen of heaven" (Hebrew: לִמְלֶכֶת הַשָּׁמַיִם) in Jer 7:18 and Jer 44:17–19, 25. (For a discussion of "queen of heaven" in the Hebrew Bible, see Queen of heaven.)
Truth Hurts x 4
I got reason to believe that you've been fooling around
And the way you feel the passion if the, the things you did
It don't matter to me
For what it's worth just don't lie to me
Coz that aint what I need right now
Baby, everything we built on trust, you're tearing it down
Coz I know the truth hurts
[CHORUS]
Truth Hurts
Tell me the truth now
Whatcha been doing and who you been doing it with
Truth Hurts
Where you been going, how you been puttin' your thing down
Truth Hurts
Whatever you was workin', I hope that it was worth it baby
Truth Hurts
I got reason to believe that you've been fooling around
Girl I'm really tryin' hard, I wanna stay
I wanna move on and put it in the past
Coz you claim that you aint doin' nothin'
Must be my insecurity
That's got the best of me right now
What I know I can't hold inside of me is gon' drive me insane, coz I know, truth hurts
[CHORUS]
Truth Hurts
Tell me the truth now
Whatcha been doing and who you been doing it with

Truth Hurts
I got reason to believe that you've been fooling around

I got to see you babe
I been keepin' from you baby
Coz I know that you're
gonna tear up the place, punch me in the face, pull the I quits out, think you need to sit down.
I've been blaming you, and I'm the one that's doing wrong, I'ma go on
A guilty conscience is the real reason I wrote this song...
