Lyrics
Oh, sweet child
I hate to hurt so
I want you to believe
I tried so hard
To do the right thing
To be an honest man
But you're the fool
And I have you
Dangling on the end of my string
Oh, sweet girl
I hate to let you go
And watch you fall away
Honesty has really let me down
It's really let me down
But you're a fool
And I have you
Dangling on the end of my string
Oh oh, Honesty is never enough...
Oh, the breakup...
