Lyric Tenderness

Words & music By Paul Simon

What can I do
What can I do
Much of what you say is true
I know you see through me
But there s no tenderness
Beneath your honesty

Oh, right and wrong
Right and wrong
Ooh, never helped us get along
You say you care for me
But there s no tenderness
Beneath your honesty

You and me were such good friends
What s your hurry?
You and me could make amends
I m not worried
I m not worried
Oh, honesty,
oh, honesty
Ooh, it s such a waste of energy
No you don t have to lie to me
Just give me some tenderness
Beneath your honesty
You don t have to lie to me
Just give me some tenderness
