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
'Cause you're
the one that
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
