Honest Lyrics

Honest)
(Honest)
I just want to be honest with you
Honestly baby you've got me down on my knees
And honey I'm sorry as sorry can be
You see it got me, my defenses were down
All I'm praying is you'll still want me around
Ooh baby

[Chorus]
I want to be honest with you
You've seen it through
But I've gotta tell you babe
I've done something wrong
I want to be honest with you
'Bout putting you through this pain
It was only a sexual thing
So help me baby
'Cause I want to be honest
I want to be honest with you

Babe we've gotta stop now and take a look at ourselves
'Cause we took a good thing and ran it down to the ground
Found myself lonely and in need of some love
But if it ain't the real thing
Well it just ain't enough
Ooh baby

[Chorus]

How much can I say I'm sorry?
What more can I do?
I want to be with you
Won't you say we'll stay together
Don't you say it's gone
I want to be with you
So baby please understand
I love you

[Chorus]

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
