Honest With Me

Well, I'm stranded in the city that never sleeps

Some of these women they just give me the creeps

I'm avoidin' the south side, the best I can

These memories I got they can strangle a man

Well, I came ashore in the dead of the night

Lot of things can get in the way when you're tryin' to do what's right

You don't understand it, my feelin' for you

You'd be honest with me if you only knew

I'm not sorry for nothing I've done

I'm glad I fought, I only wish we'd won

The Siamese twins are comin' to town

People can't wait, they've gathered around

When I left my home the sky split open wide

I never wanted to go back there, I'd rather have died

You don't understand it, my feelin' for you

You'd be honest with me if only you knew

My woman got a face like a teddy bear

She's tossin' a baseball bat in the air

The meat is so tough, you can't cut it with a sword

I'm crashin' my car trunk first into the board

They say that my eyes are pretty and my smile is nice

Well, I'd sell it to ya at a reduced price

You don't understand it, my feeling for you

You'd be honest with me if only you knew

Some things are too terrible to be true

I won't come here no more if it's botherin' you

There's a Southern Pacific leaving at 9: 45

I'm havin' a hard time, believin' some people would ever arrive

I'm stark naked but I don't care

I'm goin' off into the woods, I'm huntin' bare

You don't understand it, my feeling for you

Well, you'd be honest with me if only you knew

I'm here to create the New Imperial Empire

I'm gonna do whatever circumstances require

I care so much for you, didn't think I could

I can't tell my heart that you're no good

Well, my parents, they warned me not to risk my years

And I still got their advice oozing out of my ears

You don't understand it, my feeling for you

Well, you'd be honest with me if only you knew
