Everyone is so untrue If you search for tenderness Honesty is hardly ever heard It isn't hard to find And mostly what I need from you You can have the love You need to live When I'm deep inside of me Don't be too concerned But if you look for truthfulness I won't ask for nothin' You might just as well be blind while I'm gone It always seems to be so hard to give But when I want sincerity Tell me where else can I turn Honesty is such a lonely word Because you're the only one that I Everyone is so untrue depend on Honesty is hardly ever heard And mostly what I need from you Honesty is such a lonely word Everyone is so untrue I can always find someone Honesty is hardly ever heard To say they sympathize And mostly what I need from you 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
