Talk of making love
Take your time to bluff your way to stay
Let me use your eyes
Please don’t muse 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 muse 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, sweet honesty
That’s what you are
That’s what you are
That’s what you are
That’s what you are
