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 as for nothin' while I'm gone.

But when I want sincerity

Tell me where else can I turn.

When you're the one 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.
