All I've ever wanted was an honest life To be the person that I really am inside To tell you all the things that I did that night Sometimes it just ain't easy to live an honest life All I've ever needed was a little time to grow A little time to understand all the things that I know So I can listen to you lovingly Instead of gettin' up to go Some people take a little more time to grow Right when you have it all figured out Life comes to throw you another doubt But my head's up high And I ain't got nothin' but time To work at livin' an honest life ♪ All I've ever asked for was a way to understand All of life's lessons the best that I can How to be honest How to be wise And how to be a good friend Some things take a lifetime to fully understand Right when you have it all figured out Life comes to throw you another doubt But my head's up high And I ain't got nothin' but time To work at livin' an honest life To work at livin' an honest life
