honest woman

im not an honest woman baby but i think you could make one out of me

ive made myself a little house out of make believe

and i don’t mean to suggest that the best girl for you is me

but the truth is i want a love so ruthless that it could set me free

im not an honest woman baby but i really wish i had been true

because this evening im realising id rather be home with you

we’d be satisfied doing the dishes and running the laundry too

maybe a tomato garden and a fresh lawn under a sky of baby blue

im not an honest woman baby but i admit that im in pain

if i could have you id trade everything for a life so mundane

loving you wouldn’t be a chore because id do it anyway

the truth is you’d be all mine if i could have it my way

im not an honest woman baby but i could turn a new page

no more theatre and drama but you can be centre stage

will you keep me despite all the tears and the lies and the rage

im not an honest woman baby but i promise you ill change
