Truth and Honesty
La, la, la, la
La, la
I would like to see a show of hands
Nothin' concealed, roll up your sleeve
Nothin' up my sleeve, except my heart
And I believe we've come apart
I would like to see you play your cards
Reveal your hands and show your heart
Maybe we could get it back
With truth and honesty, that's what we need to hold on
To the good stuff we believe in
Before we land up loose and sad and free
Before we find that it's gone
We could pull it back together, truth and honesty, ha, ha
Open up your hands, show me your heart, ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha (ooh), ha
Let's stay up 'til dawn and talk it out (stay up 'til dawn and talk it out)
Nothin' concealed, no alibi, retunin' to light (nothin' concealed, no alibi, retunin' to light)
Before we start, then all we do is fall apart (before we start then all we do is fall apart)
If I can see the sunlight in your eyes
Then maybe we all could shine, yeah
Maybe we could get it back, oh, baby, yeah, baby
Oh, with truth and honesty, that is what we need to hold on (truth and honesty, that's what we need to hold on)
To the good stuff we believe in (good stuff we believe in)
Before we land up loose, sad and free (loose and sad and free)
Before we find out all that is gone (find out all that is gone)
We could pull it back together with truth and honesty, oh, ha (pull it back together with truth and honesty)
Open up your hands, show me your heart
Truth and honesty, oh, that's what we need to hold on (truth and honesty, oh, that's what we need to hold on)
To the good stuff we believe in (good stuff we believe in)
Before we land up loose and sad and free (loose and sad and free)
Before we find out that it's gone (find out that it's gone)
We could pull it back together, truth and honesty (pull it back together, truth and honesty)
(Truth and honesty) you know what we need, sure enough within (got to be real, got to be real)
To the good stuff (we believe in), the good stuff, baby
(You got to be real), yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you got to be real, you got to be real, you got to be sugar (truth and honesty, you got to be real)
(Good stuff we believe in, you got to) you have to make, yeah, yeah, you got to
La, la
