I'd tell you a lie if i told you that

I wouldn't tell you the truth

I'd stand in the way of a runaway train

If it came towards you

Well maybe not if there was

I'm a coward i have to confess

But at least i'm honest



I'll never forget how it was that we met

You were just seventeen

I told you i liked older women

And you were the oldest i'd seen

You started to laugh

Told me i must be daft

Whereupon i said yes

But at least i'm honest



And i'll go on sending you birthday cards

That arrive the following week

And i'll try my hardest not to forget

Not to forget next year

And i'll come home late when i should be early

Blame it on the one for the road

Though it may not always be to your liking

For instance i could never climb

The highest mountain peak

To prove to you my love is true

I'm scared of heights you see



You never say much when i long for your touch

Except keep me enthralled

One thing i like about you is you're

Never embarrassed at all

Me. i'm so shy, that at night if the lights on

I won't get undressed

But at least i'm honest



I'll give you a lift on my bicycle

If you don't mind going slow

Needless to say it can vary

Depending on how the wind blows

Cars are okay but on my earnings

I couldn't afford the test

But at least i'm honest



And i'll go on telling your dear old mother

She's always welcome round here

That is providing she can keep tier mouth shut

And doesn't interfere

And i will for want of a better word

Love you more than words ever say

Though it may not always be to your liking

I couldn't climb a mountain high

To prove i loved you so

I'm not the type, i'm scared of heights

A touch of vertigo



And i'll never hurt you. how could i do

You're the one good thing in my life

If it weren't for the fact we're already married

I'd marry you tonight

And i'll do whatever is necessary

To improve our standard of life

Though it may not always be to your liking

For instance i could never die

To prove my love was real

It wouldn't do a lot for you

And even less for me
