Cheap Honesty

I KNOW TOO WELL
I KNOW THESE LINES
I’VE SEEN THEM SMOTHERED
IN SLEEK RIDICULE
A SEEDY SMILE
THEY THINK THEY’VE SCORED
BUT I KNOW MORNING COMES
AND BABE’S…
BRIDGE
ALONE AGAIN, TOO ALONE AGAIN
SO WHAT CAN I DO
WITH CHEAP HONESTY
YOU’RE GIVING ME MORE THAN I CAN SEE
BUT I’M TOO COOL TO SAY
THAT I WANT IT ALL MY WAY
GET BLASTED BY THIS SINCERITY
I WISH I HAD
THE STREET’S FULL VIEW
THESE PEOPLE SCREAMING
THROUGH THEIR SETTLED LOVES
SO I PRETEND
SO MELLOWED OUT
TOO TEASING
WEAK ENOUGH TO LONG FOR
HOME AGAIN, LUVVERLY HOME AGAIN
