If you're going to lead my co untry,
If you're gonna say it's fre e
I'm gonna need
a little honesty
Just a few honest w ords
It shouldn't be that hard
Just a few honest words
Is all I need
I don't need no handshak e
No firm look in the ey e
Don't tell me what you think I,
I ou ght to hear
I don't need no high li fe
No fancy premie rs
Just tell me what you really think
Without fear
Just a few honest w ords
It shouldn't be that hard
Just a few honest words
Is a ll I need
Love is a bitter food
You've learned to e at
You still don't know, oh,
Where it grows
And our love of freed om
Holds a veil over our eyes
Rights that are given
Can be taken away
Just a few honest wor ds
It shouldn't be that ha rd
Just a few honest words
Is a ll I need
We don't choose our lead ers
The choose thems elves
Tell me again
