Honest With Me

Words and music by Bob DylanWell, I'm stranded in the city that never sleepsSome of these women they just give me the creepsI'm avoidin' the south side the best I canThese memories I got they can strangle a manWell, I came ashore in the dead of the nightLot of things can get in the way when you're tryin' to do what's rightYou don't understand it, my feelin' for youYou'd be honest with me if you only knewI'm not sorry for nothing I've doneI'm glad I fought, I only wish we'd wonThe Siamese twins are comin' to townPeople can't wait, they've gathered aroundWhen I left my home the sky split open wideI never wanted to go back there, I'd rather have diedYou don't understand it, my feelin' for youYou'd be honest with me if only you knewMy woman got a face like a teddy bearShe's tossin' a baseball bat in the airThe meat is so tough you can't cut it with a swordI'm crashin' my car trunk first into the boardThey say that my eyes are pretty and my smile is niceWell, I'd sell it to ya at a reduced priceYou don't understand it, my feeling for youYou'd be honest with me if only you knewSome things are too terrible to be true,I won't come here no more if it's botherin' youThere's a Southern Pacific leaving at 9:45I'm havin' a hard time, believin' some people would ever arriveI'm stark naked but I don't careI'm goin' off into the woods I'm hunt'n' bareYou don't understand it, my feeling for youWell, you'd be honest with me if only you knewI'm here to create the new imperial empireI'm gonna do whatever circumstances requireI care so much for you, didn't think I couldI can't tell my heart that you're no goodWell, my parents, they warned me not to risk my yearsAnd I still got their advice oozing out of my earsYou don't understand it, my feeling for youWell, you'd be honest with me if only you knew
