The Rolling Stones - Honest Man Lyrics

(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...
