If you search for tenderness
it isn't hard to find.
You can have the love you need to live.
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind.
It always seems to be so hard to give.
Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.
I can always find someone
to say they sympathize.
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.
Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.
I can find a lover.
I can find a friend.
I can have security until the bitter end.
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again.
I know, I know.
When I'm deep inside of me
don't be too concerned.
I won't as for nothin' while I'm gone.
But when I want sincerity
tell me where else can I turn.
Because you're the one I depend upon.
Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.
* just the way you are - billy joel
Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I couldn't love you any better
I love you just the way you are.
* you belong to me - bob dylan
see the pyramids around the nile
watch the sunrise from the tropic isle
just remember darling all the while
you belong to me
see the market place in old algiers
send me photographs and souvenirs
just remember when your dream appears
you belong to me
and i'll be so alone without you
maybe you'll be lonesome too
fly the ocean in a silver plane
see the jungle when its wets with rain
just remember till you're home again
you belong to me
and i'll be so alone without you
maybe you'll be lonesome too
fly the ocean in a silver plane
see the jungle when its wet with rain
just remember till you're home again
you belong to me

* kitchen sink drama - soft cell
Passing time in the afternoon
Cleaning the bathroom floor
Rearrange things in the dining room
Covers the chip on the kitchen door
The paperboy winks as he hands her a paper
He's cheekier every day
She undoes her apron and sinks on the sofa
Throws all her household chores away
She's in a fantasy
It's not so hard to see
That she is living a lie
She'll never be the same
She shuts her eyes again
Waves all her worries goodbye
Puts on her make-up
And smoothes down her dress
And finds the right words to say
Holds a remaining spark of beauty
Escape is only a romance away
Troubles come flooding back with her migraine
She trembles and shuts her eyes
It's a good thing that friends come in little bottles
Time to shake up and prepare for the lies
She's in a fantasy
It's not so hard to see
That she is living a lie
She'll never be the same
She shuts her eyes again
Waves all her worries goodbye
Pushing the hair back from her face
Shaping her thoughts in the sky
Heaven is through her kitchen window
"Pity it's only a dream", she sighs
Imagines herself as Elizabeth Taylor
The paperboy cycles away
She turns on the stove
Soon her husband is home
"Hello dear, it's been such a long day"
She's in a fantasy
It's not so hard to see
That she is living a lie
She'll never be the same
She shuts her eyes again
Waves all her worries goodbye
She's in a fantasy
It's not so hard to see
That she is living a lie
She'll never be the same
She shuts her eyes again
Waves all her worries goodbye
* love is waiting - al jarreau
Livin' a dream - Where things are even better than they seem
I wanna go - To where the lights inside provide the glow
You can believe when I tell you it's true - Take a little ride with me
Can you concede that you already knew - Look inside and you will see
That love is waiting - just around the bend
Waiting - for you to turn the corner
Waiting - and it will never end - Give it up you're overdue
Love is waiting - just around the bend
Waiting - for you to turn the charm on
Waiting - and it will never end - Give it up you're overdue
(Love will see you through)
What'll you do - When all your fancy dancin' days are through
Where will you go - When all the neon lights have lost their glow
You can believe when I tell you it's true - Come take a little ride with me
Can you concede that you already knew - Look inside and you will see
That love is waiting - just around the bend
Waiting - for you to turn the charm on
Waiting - and it will never end - Give it up you're overdue
Love is waiting - just around the bend
Waiting - for you to turn the charm on
Waiting - and it will never end - Give it up you're overdue
(Love will see you through)
Love is waiting - just around the bend
Waiting - come on and turn the charm on
Waiting - and it will never end - Give it up you're overdue
Love is waiting - just around the bend
Waiting - for you to turn the charm on
Waiting - and it will never end
Waiting - come on and turn the charm on
Waiting - just around the bend
Waiting - for you to turn the charm on
Waiting - and it will never end
Waiting - come on and turn the charm on
