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 as for nothin' while I'm gone. |
|
But when I want sincerity |
|
tell me where else can I turn. |
|
Because 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. |
