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
