Honestly
Lyrics & music by
Rick Springfield & Matt Bissonette
Brave face on when
you ask me what 'cha think
Do you look like
Cleopatra
I don't know what to
say
Big fake smile and a
false apology
Soaked up in this big
opera
And my Mark Antony, oh
Honestly, honestly I'd
really rather lie
But the truth is
always out there
Honestly, honestly
this time it's true or die
Photo of a face can't
replace the one that got away
Lift me up cause you
got me on a string
But when I feel like
Frank Sinatra
You tell me I can't
sing
I'm on trial with your
cold biology
You stole my
candelabra
Liberace wannabe, oh
Honestly, honestly I'd
really rather cry
Cause the truth is so
much harder
Honestly, honestly I
want to run and hide
Karma in the space
won't erase the one that got away
Rowing a river to my
sea
Making a foolish mess
of me
Shoot me down with a
phony modesty
I'm not your Henry
Fonda
I'm not your Steve
McQueen
Write it down with a
grim apostrophe
This king and queen of
drama
A comic tragedy, oh
Honestly, honestly I'd
really rather lie
(I'd really rather
lie)
But the truth is
always out there
Honestly, honestly
this time it's do or die
Photo of a face can't
replace the one that got away
Honestly, honestly I'd
really rather cry
(I'd really rather
cry)
Cause the truth is so
much harder
Honestly, honestly I
want to run and hide
Karma in the space
won't erase the one that got away
Honestly, honestly
can't replace the one that got away
Honestly, honestly
won't erase the one that got away
Honestly, honestly she
remains the one that got away
