Intro

    

Verse 1

If you search for tenderness it isn't hard to find
You can have the love you need to live    
And if you look for truthfulness you might just as well be blind
It always seems to be so hard to give  

Chorus

Honest - y is such a lonely word 
Everyone is so untrue-ue 
Honest - y is hardly ever heard 
But mostly what I need from you 

Verse 2

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 

Chorus

Honest - y is such a lonely word 
Everyone is so untrue-ue 
Honest - y is hardly ever heard 
But mostly what I need from you-
ou   

Bridge

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, whoa, whoa ohhh 

Verse 3

When I'm deep inside of me, don't be too concerned
I won't ask for nothing while I'm gone    
When I want sincerity tell me where else can I turn?
Cause you're the one that I depend upon 

Chorus

Honest - y is such a lonely word 
Everyone is so untrue  
Honest - y is hardly ever heard 
But mostly what I need from you-
ou
