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
Well 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
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...
