  1. 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 party 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.
    Because 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.
