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

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

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 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

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

Ev'ryone is so untrue,

Honesty is hardly ever heard

And mostly what I need from you

Only you...
