Aretha Franklin - Truth and Honesty lyrics
[Aretha Franklin - Truth and Honesty lyrics]
I would like to see a show of hands
Nothing concealed, roll up your sleeve
Nothing up my sleeve except my heart
And I believe we've come apart
I would like to see you play your cards
Reveal your hands and show your heart
Maybe we could get it back
With truth and honesty that's what
We need to hold on
To the good stuff we believe in
Before we land up loose and sad and free
Before we find that it's gone
We could pull it back together
Truth and honesty
Open up your hands, show me your heart
Let's stay up till dawn and talk it out
Nothing concealed, no alibi
Returning to light
Before we start, then all we do is fall apart
If I can see the sunlight in your eyes
Then maybe we all could shine, yeah
Maybe we could get it back, oh baby
Yeah baby
With truth and honesty that's what
We need to hold on
To the good stuff we believe in
Before we land up loose and sad and free
Before we find that it's gone
We could pull it back together
Truth and honesty
Open up your hands, show me your heart
With truth and honesty that's what
We need to hold on
To the good stuff we believe in
Before we land up loose and sad and free
Before we find that it's gone
We could pull it back together
Truth and honesty
Open up your hands, show me your heart
Truth and honesty, you know what we need
Sure enough within
To the good stuff, the good stuff baby
You got to be real, you got to be real
You got to be sugar
To the good stuff we believe in
You got to, you got to be real
Nothing concealed, roll up your sleeve
Nothing up my sleeve except my heart
And I believe we've come apart
I would like to see you play your cards
Reveal your hands and show your heart
Maybe we could get it back
With truth and honesty that's what
We need to hold on
To the good stuff we believe in
Before we land up loose and sad and free
Before we find that it's gone
We could pull it back together
Truth and honesty
Open up your hands, show me your heart
Let's stay up till dawn and talk it out
Nothing concealed, no alibi
Returning to light
Before we start, then all we do is fall apart
If I can see the sunlight in your eyes
Then maybe we all could shine, yeah
Maybe we could get it back, oh baby
Yeah baby
With truth and honesty that's what
We need to hold on
To the good stuff we believe in
Before we land up loose and sad and free
Before we find that it's gone
We could pull it back together
Truth and honesty
Open up your hands, show me your heart
With truth and honesty that's what
We need to hold on
To the good stuff we believe in
Before we land up loose and sad and free
Before we find that it's gone
We could pull it back together
Truth and honesty
Open up your hands, show me your heart
Truth and honesty, you know what we need
Sure enough within
To the good stuff, the good stuff baby
You got to be real, you got to be real
You got to be sugar
To the good stuff we believe in
You got to, you got to be real
