Sweet Honesty

Talk of making love.
Take your time to bluff your way to stay.
Let me use your eyes.
Please don't amuse with words
That cut me down to size.

With your lovely mind,
Never taking time
To treat a woman kind;
You remain to me,
A vision of
Sweet honesty.
(Sweet honesty.)
Sweet honesty;
Sweet honesty.

Do I need to say?
Let time, wiser with surprise for borrowing your eyes.
Morning sets the scene
And though you stay,
The more you go from me, it seems.

With your lovely mind,
Never taking time
To treat a woman kind;
You remain to me
A vision of
Sweet honesty.
(Sweet honesty.)
Sweet honesty;
Sweet honesty- that's what you are.

Talk of making love.
Take your kind to bluff your way to stay.
Let me use your eyes;
Please don't amuse with words that cut me down to size.

With your lovely mind,
Never taking time
To treat a woman kind;
O, listen to me now,
You remain to me
A vision of
Sweet honesty.
(Sweet honesty.)
Sweet honesty;
Sweet honesty.

Sweet honesty, sweet honesty.
Sweet honesty, sweet honesty.
Sweet honesty, sweeeeet honesty.

That's what you are,
That's what you are;
That's what you are,
That's what you are.
