From the recording Honesty
Lyrics
She wakes up and sometimes puts some makeup on
He arrives before or after dawn
He says hello, he showers, he falls asleep
She counts her faults like sheep
Honesty is like a knife
When a mistress has it better than a wife
Will you choose one or maybe both
Let's laugh two times
Let's make a toast to strife
Love of my life
Love of my life
Love of my life
It's my life
She listens carefully to your every word
While hers ring silent and unheard
Perhaps she'll struggle to another beer
Or an eager eye when all she wanted was an eager ear
Honesty is like a knife
When a mistress has it better than a wife
Will you choose one or maybe both
Let's laugh two times
Let's make a toast to strife
Love of my life
Love of my life
Love of my life
It's my life
If she were sad I bet you couldn't tell
After all, you don't know her too well
And she still hides the best parts of her heart
You can do more than stay or part
Honesty is like a knife
When a mistress has it better than a wife
Will you choose one or maybe both
Let's laugh two times
Let's make a toast to strife
Love of my life
Love of my life
Love of my life
It's my life
What is love after all
She only knows she wants it all
from you
