Honesty

Lyrics

If you search for tenderness
 It isn't hard to find
 You can have the love you need to live
 But if you look for truthfulness
 You might just as well be blind
 It always seems to be so hard to give
 Honesty is such a lonely word
 Everyone is so untrue
 Honesty is hardly ever heard
 And mostly what I need from you
 I can always find someone
 To say they sympathize
 If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
 But I don't want some pretty face
 To tell me pretty lies
 All I want is someone to believe
 Honesty is such a lonely word
 Everyone is so untrue
 Honesty is hardly ever heard
 And mostly what I need from you
 ♪
 I can find a lover
 I can find a friend
 I can have security until the bitter end
 Anyone can comfort me
 With promises again
 I know, I know
 ♪
 When I'm deep inside of me
 Don't be too concerned
 I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone
 But when I want sincerity
 Tell me where else can I turn
 'Cause you're the one I depend upon
 Honesty is such a lonely word
 Everyone is so untrue
 Honesty is hardly ever heard
 And mostly what I need from you
 
 If you search for tenderness
 It isn't hard to find
 You can have the love you need to live
 But if you look for truthfulness
 You might just as well be blind
 It always seems to be so hard to give
 Honesty is such a lonely word
 Everyone is so untrue
 Honesty is hardly ever heard
 And mostly what I need from you
 I can always find someone
 To say they sympathize
 If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
 But I don't want some pretty face
 To tell me pretty lies
 All I want is someone to believe
 Honesty is such a lonely word
 Everyone is so untrue
 Honesty is hardly ever heard
 And mostly what I need from you

 Honesty is such a lonely word
 Everyone is so untrue
 Honesty is hardly ever heard
 And mostly what I need from you
