Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

Truth and Honesty*

I would like to see a show of hands

Nothin' concealed, roll up your sleeve

Nothin' up my [?] except my heart

And I believe we've come apart

I would like to see you play your cards

Reveal your hands and show your heart

Maybe we could get it back

With truth and honesty that's what we need to hold on

To the good stuff we believe in

Before we land up loose and sad and free

Before we find that it's gone

We could pull it back together, truth and honesty

Open up your hands, show me your heart

Let's stay up till dawn and talk it out

Nothin' concealed, no alibi, retunin' to light

Before we start, then all we do is fall apart

If I can see the sunlight in your eyes

Then maybe we all could shine, yeah

Maybe we could get it back, oh baby, yeah baby

Oh, truth and honesty that is what we need to hold on

To the good stuff we believe in

Before we land up loose, sad and free

Before we find out all that is gone

We could pull it back together with truth and honesty, oh

Open up your hands, show me your heart

Truth and honesty, oh, that's what we need to hold on

To the good stuff we believe in

Before we land up loose and sad and free

Before we find out that it's gone

We could pull it back together, truth and honesty

Truth and honesty, you know what we need, sure enough within

To the good stuff, the good stuff baby

You got to be real, you got to be real, you got to be sugar

To the good stuff we believe in, you got to, you got to
