Honesty

If you search for tenderness,

it isn’t hard to find

You can have the love you need to live

And if you look for truthfulness

you might just as well be blind

It always seems to be so hard to giv –       e

Hones       ty – is such a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honest       y –    is hardly ever heard

But mostly what I need from yo –       u

I can always find someone

to say they sympat      hize

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 belie –       ve

Honest       y –    is such a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honest       y –    is hardly ever heard

But mostly what I need from yo –       u

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, )

I know-oh-wo-wo-wo

When I’m deep inside of me,

don’t be too con      cerned

I won’t ask for nothing

while I’m gone

When I want sincerity,

tell me where else     can I      turn?

‘Cause you’re the one that I depend upon

Hones       ty – is such a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honest       y –    is hardly ever heard

But mostly what I need from yo –       u
