HONESTY
(Billy Joel)


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

Chorus:
Honesty is such a lonely word,
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard,
But 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.

Chorus

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 wo wo

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

Chorus
