Honestly Lyrics


The beauty that you gave
Has turned upon itself
And all the things you said
Evaporated, evaporated
Was I blind
Deaf and dumb
To the words slipped
From your tongue?
Honestly
(Alone in my bed)
Honestly
(The things that you said)
Honestly
(Go round in my head still)
Honestly
(It seems to be true)
Honestly
(That nothin' I do)

Honestly
(Can influence you)
(I tried and tried again)
Don't you know I tried and tried again
To make you listen to me
But everything I said it always seemed to go right through you
(To make you notice me)
I turned myself into a person that I didn't like
But please believe me when I say, "I know it wasn't right"
(But talking to myself)
I never thought that things would get to be so complicated
I never thought that you and me would end up so frustrated
(Won't catch you attention I see)
You'd think that something had to come from all those good intentions
But in the end I needed something more than intervention
Was I mad?
Foolish me
To succumb
So easily
Honestly
(Alone in my bed)
Honestly
(The things that you said)
Honestly
(Go round in my head still)
Honestly
(It seems to be true)
Honestly
(That nothin' I do)
Honestly
(Can influence you still)
Fools like me
Get so easily taken
But fools like me
Can be so mistaken
Honestly
Honestly
Honestly
(The promise that you gave)
Don't you know the promise that you gave just turned it's back upon me
I stopped believing but you couldn't take the whole thing from me
(Has turned it's back)
I never thought I'd have to pay the price to set you free
(And all you represented was just my projection you see)
You know I never thought I'd ever live a day without you
And that's the reason why it makes me sad to think about you
And you know I never thought I'd make it if you wasn't there
And now I'm tryin' to eject myself from this despair
People come
People go
Never say
"I told you so"
Honestly
(Alone in my bed)
Honestly
(The things that you said)
Honestly
(Go round in my head still)
Honestly
(It seems to be true)
Honestly
(That nothin' I do)
Ya, honestly
(Can influence you)
"Honestly", I said
(Alone in my bed)
Honestly
(The things that you said)
Honestly
(Go round in my head still)
Told you honestly
(It seems to be true)
I said, "Honestly"
(That nothin' I do)
Honestly
(Can influence you)
Everything I know you said
Goin' round inside my head
Never thought I'd see the day
Always got a price to pay
Nothin' that I ever do
Ever seems to get to you

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Annie Lennox is an Oscar, Brit and Grammy award-winning pop musician and vocalist. She was born on December 25, 1954 in Aberdeen, Scotland.

After three years as lead singer of The Tourists, Lennox achieved her most notable fame as the alto, soul-tinged lead singer of the 1980s rock duo Eurythmics with British musician Dave Stewart. Early in the Eurythmics' career, she was known for her androgyny, wearing suits and once impersonating Elvis. Journalists often referred to her as "the white Grace Jones".

Her 1992 album Diva won critical praise and sold well, but her profile decreased for a period due to her desire to raise her two children outside of the media's glare, although she continued to be a major figure in popular music. Medusa - an album of covers in which Lennox tackled songs by everyone from Bob Marley to The Clash - was released three years after Diva, and also sold well. In 1997 she re-recorded the Eurythmics track "Angel" for the Diana, Princess of Wales tribute album. In 1998 - following the death of a mutual friend (former The Tourists leader singer/songwriter Peet Coombes) - she re-established contact with Dave Stewart and by 1999, Eurythmics had reformed for the album Peace. In 2003 she released her third solo album, Bare.

In 2003, Lennox was chosen to record "Into the West" for the soundtrack of The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. This song won an Academy Award for Best Song in 2003.

In October 2007, Annie released her fourth solo album, Songs Of Mass Destruction.
