At Least I'm Honest Lyrics - Singles - Gilbert Osullivan

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
