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