How Honest Do You Want Me To Be? Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been drinking too much
Been drinking too much
To be talking about us
Now you're bringing up stuff
You're asking what we're doing
Asking, "What the hell are we?"

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, how honest do you want me to be?
Yeah, how honest do you want me to be?

[Chorus]
'Cause when you water down whiskey, it gets easier to drink
And a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine sweeter
You say you want the truth, but the truth, baby, it might sting
So how honest do you want me to be?

[Verse 2]
I should say that I'm fine
Never cross that line
Keep the boat from sinking
For just one more night
But you keep, keep on prеssing
Tryna to pull it out of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, how honest do you want mе to be?
Yeah, how honest do you want me to be?

[Chorus]
'Cause when you water down whiskey, it gets easier to drink
And a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine sweeter
You say you want the truth, but the truth, baby, it might sting
So how honest do you want me to be?
Yeah, how honest do you want me to be?

[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
'Cause when you water down whiskey, it gets easier to drink
And a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine sweeter
You say you want the truth, but the truth, baby, it might sting
So how honest do you want me to be?
Yeah, how honest do you want me to be?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
