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 get.
Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
But 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 only pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.
Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
But 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.
When I want sincerity.
Tell me where else I can turn.
Because you’re the one I depend upon.
Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
But mostly what I need from you.
