OP, lyrics are "he won't decieve you OR tell you the truth", NOT "he won't decieve you HE'LL tell you the truth"
wow, I took the exact opposite meaning to the two posters before me
:)) I think it's beautiful and amazing and a POSITIVE song about love.
As in a girl who has a man and but whilst on the outside everything is amazing/perfect, (he treats her well, she enjoys being with him etc...) in quiet moments, she secretly doubts him and his feelings towards her, maybe even doubts the reality of love itself, and she definately doesn't believe that anything, especially something for her, can be this perfect.
(Maybe she's been hurt before or is just naturally doubtful of love/super protective of her real heart.) ...And the singers saying, you know, maybe for once, what you see is what you get, you CAN read this book by it's cover, he has no hidden agenda, everything he says/does for you simply IS because he loves you.
"Youre not the girl you think you are" = you're not this cold, empty bitch who doesn't believe in love/or at least him; it's just a front you put up to protect yourself.
"He won't deceive you or tell you the truth" = he won't lie to you about the big things, and he won't say unnecessary truths just for the sake of hurting you ie. "does my bum look big in this?" "no, of course not, honey"
"c'mon, believe you have one in a million" = it's okay to love, to let down your guard, to give this relationship with this boy a chance:))!
I love the line "He won't deceive you or tell you the truth" with its seeming contradiction.

It's like it's saying he'll tell you lies, and you will know he's lying, but you'll pretend you don't.

To me this song seems to be about a girl who has found a "good catch", but in order to make the relationship work she has to act like she's a different person.

The singer is telling her that she deserves better, she can find someone whom she can be herself with, not someone she has to pretend isn't lying...
