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 Because you're the only one that I depend on
Honesty is such a lonely word Everyone is so untrue Honesty is hardly ever heard And mostly what I need from you
