If you search for tenderness
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
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
I can always find someone
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don't want some pretty face
All I want is someone to believe
Honesty is such a lonely word
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
I can have security until the bitter end
When I'm deep inside of me
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 I depend upon
Honesty is such a lonely word
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
