Bob Dylan - Honest With Me Lyrics
Words and music by bob dylanWell, Im stranded in the city that never sleepsSome of these women they just give me the creepsIm avoidin the south side the best I canThese memories I got they can strangle a manWell, I came ashore in the dead of the nightLot of things can get in the way when youre tryin to do whats rightYou dont understand it, my feelin for youYoud be honest with me if you only knewIm not sorry for nothing Ive doneIm glad I fought, I only wish wed wonThe siamese twins are comin to townPeople cant wait, theyve gathered aroundWhen I left my home the sky split open wideI never wanted to go back there, Id rather have diedYou dont understand it, my feelin for youYoud be honest with me if only you knewMy woman got a face like a teddy bearShes tossin a baseball bat in the airThe meat is so tough you cant cut it with a swordIm crashin my car trunk first into the boardThey say that my eyes are pretty and my smile is niceWell, Id sell it to ya at a reduced priceYou dont understand it, my feeling for youYoud be honest with me if only you knewSome things are too terrible to be true,I wont come here no more if its botherin youTheres a southern pacific leaving at 9:45Im havin a hard time, believin some people would ever arriveIm stark ***** but I dont careIm goin off into the woods Im huntn bareYou dont understand it, my feeling for youWell, youd be honest with me if only you knewIm here to create the new imperial empireIm gonna do whatever circumstances requireI care so much for you, didnt think I couldI cant tell my heart that youre no goodWell, my parents, they warned me not to risk my yearsAnd I still got their advice oozing out of my earsYou dont understand it, my feeling for youWell, youd be honest with me if only you knew
