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


CHORUS:
Honesty is such a lonely word

Ev'ryone 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

And all I want is someone to believe

CHORUS:

Honesty is such a lonely word
Ev'ryone is so untrue,
Honesty is hardly ever heard

And mostly what I need from you

REFRAIN:

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
Woh, woh


When I'm deep inside of me
Don't be too concerne
I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone

But when I want sincerity
Tell me, where else can I turn?
'Cause you're the one that I depend upon


CHORUS:
Honesty is such a lonely word

Ev'ryone is so untrue,
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you


Only you...
