If you search for tenderness 
It isn't hard to find 
You can have the love you need to live 
But it you look for truthfulness 
You might just as well he 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 ask for nothin' while I'm gone 
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 
Everyone is so untrue 
Honesty is hardly ever heard 
And mostly what I need from you
