Honest Man — The Rolling Stones

(Jagger/Richards)

Well there's a hole in my chest Where my heart was The body refuses to die And the rain's coming down The night wont end It looks like it's set for the night

There's a train pullin' in at the station And its wheels gonna take me home When love walks in And love walks out I'm movin' to the danger zone

Well I wont breathe a word about it Cross my heart and hope to die I give you all the love In this mighty world Stand up and testify

I'm a' honest man I'm a' honest lover Stand by my word Don't know no other

I'm a' honest man I'm a' honest lover Don't tell my friend Don't blow my cover

Now there's some wild talkin' innuendo An' some nasty nail-biting games When the sun comes up Look me right in the eye And tell me you don't feel ashamed

Well, I won't breathe a word about it Cross my heart and hope to die When love walks out And love walks in The fall-man is gonna cry

I'm a' honest man I'm a' honest lover Don't tell my friend Don't blow my cover

I'm a' honest man I'm a' honest lover Don't tell my friend Don't blow my cover

Now there's a hole in my chest Where my heart was And nothing's gonna stop the pain When the train pull out The night comes in Thinkin' of me once again

And I wont breathe a word about it I know I'm gonna take the blame Give you all the love In this mighty world If you just let me clear my name

I'm a' honest man I'm a' honest lover Don't tell my friend Don't blow my cover

I'm a' honest man I'm an' honest lover Tell my friend Don't know no other

Yeah Uh-huh Yeah Uh-huh Yeah

C'mon, c'mon C'mon, c'mon C'mon, c'mon

Mmh-hmm Uh-huh Uh-huh Mmh-hmm Mmh-hmm Uh-huh Uh-huh Mmh-hmm...
