歌词
作曲：Billy Joel
作词：Billy Joel
（Why “Honesty” is such a lonely word,
为什么“诚信”如此孤单
people can’t be honest
人们从不诚实
because they used to be dishonest?
因为他们的过去是有污点吗？
Or because protecting someone you love
或者，为保护所爱
so you can’t be honest,
人们就大可不必诚实
or because you have difficulties
亦或有很多的麻烦
so you can’t be honest. ）
所以人们略掉诚实
如果你探求人们最柔软的一面
If you search for tenderness
你不难发现
It isn't hard to find
你会拥有在这世上生活所需要的足够的爱
You can have the love you need to live
但如果你要寻找真相
你可能会变得盲目
But if you look for truthfulness
这东西好像很难给出
You might just as well be blind
诚实，这个孤独的字眼
It always seems to be so hard to give
每个人都辜负着它
诚实，很少被提及的字眼
Honesty is such a lonely word
我希望从你那里体会
Everyone is so untrue
我一直在寻找某个人
Honesty is hardly ever heard
听他说“我心疼你”
And mostly what I need from you
当我有一颗爱你的心
但我不想要一些美丽的面孔
I can always find someone
告诉我美丽的谎言
To say they sympathize
我需要全心全意地相信某人
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
诚实，这个孤独的字眼
每个人都辜负着它
But I don't want some pretty face
诚实，很少被提及的字眼
To tell me pretty lies
我希望从你那里体会
All I want is someone to believe
我可以找到一位爱人
我可以找到一位挚友
Honesty is such a lonely word
我可以忍受到
Everyone is so untrue
所有结局都完美的时候
Honesty is hardly ever heard
任何人都可以
And mostly what I need from you
一次一次用承诺安慰我
我知道，我知道……
I can find a lover
当我过度沉迷
I can find a friend
请不要太过担心
I can have security
我会一无所求地离去
Until the bitter end
但当我需要忠诚时
Anyone can comfort me
告诉我该如何走下去
With promises again
只因你是我唯一肯信赖的人
I know, I know
诚实，这个孤独的字眼
每个人都辜负着它
When I'm deep inside of me
诚实，很少被提及的字眼
Don't be too concerned
我希望从你那里体会
I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone
But when I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn
'Cause you're the one that 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
