Notes
Written with my friend Ben Cooper. Ben and I have this strange connection. All of our songs seem to have this strong sense of "conscience" behind them. I started strumming this chord progression and singing, "do oo oo oo oo" and thought, "that's fun, keep that." This song was written in probably 40 minutes. We just got out of its way and let it flow.
Lyrics
I’m always feeling I been cheated so I’m keeping it in
I got this feeling someone's scheming don't know where to begin
And so we do it how we do it and we do it again
A little more honesty is all that we may ever need
A little more courtesy empathy all that we need
A little more honesty suddenly it just occurred to me
You wanna trust you wanna know me but you’re holding it back
You got a role to play honey now you’re under attack
It’s how you do it so you do it do you think it can last?
A little more honesty is all that we may ever need
A little more courtesy empathy all that we need
A little more honesty suddenly it just occurred to me
A little more honesty is all that we may ever need
A little more courtesy empathy all that we need
A little more honesty is all that we may ever need
A little more courtesy empathy all that we need
Be young be young be honest
