Honesty
from the album "tom tom Blues"

(Mike Roe/Mark Harmon/Bruce Spencer)


Alright
Tell me what I said
You better watch out
Your words are getting in your way
It's not right
Every little thing you say

C'mon baby
Get a grip
You better tighten up
Your flappy little lip
Don't go down
Where the liars live

Alright
Listen what I said
I been watching
Every little move you make
It don't jibe
'Cuz every other word is fake

It's all lies
The whole thing
It's all jive
And I'm tired of listening
You wanna fly
But you never paid for your wings

Oh, give me a little
Honesty
All I want is
Honesty
All I need is
Honesty
Gotta gimme
Honesty

Alright
Tell me what I say
Tell the truth now
Or put your
Bloody tongue away
'Cuz no lie
Ever really goes away

It's gonna grow
It's gonna spread
It's gonna follow you
Until you're dead, baby
They'll pull the sheet
Right over
Your lying little head

Better give it to me
Honesty
All I want is
Honesty
All I need is
Honesty
Gotta gotta gimme
Honesty
Gotta gotta gimme
Honesty
I want it
Honesty
I need it
Honesty
Ow, gotta have it
Honesty
