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
|
