Honest With Me lyrics

(Words and Music by Bob Dylan)

Well, I`m stranded in the city that never sleeps
Some of these women they just give me the creeps
I`m avoidin` the south side the best I can
These memories I got they can strangle a man
Well, I came ashore in the dead of the night
Lot of things can get in the way when you`re tryin` to do what`s right

You don`t understand it, my feelin` for you
You`d be honest with me if you only knew

I`m not sorry for nothing I`ve done
I`m glad I fought, I only wish we`d won
The Siamese twins are comin` to town
People can`t wait, they`ve gathered around
When I left my home the sky split open wide
I never wanted to go back there, I`d rather have died

You don`t understand it, my feelin` for you
You`d be honest with me if only you knew

My woman got a face like a teddy bear
She`s tossin` a baseball bat in the air
The meat is so tough you can`t cut it with a sword
I`m crashin` my car trunk first into the board
They say that my eyes are pretty and my smile is nice
Well, I`d sell it to ya at a reduced price

You don`t understand it, my feeling for you
You`d be honest with me if only you knew

Some things are too terrible to be true,
I won`t come here no more if it bothers you
There`s a Southern Pacific leaving at 9:45
I`m havin` a hard time believin` some people were ever alive /will ever arrive?
I`m stark naked but I don`t care
I`m goin` off into the woods I`m hunt`n` bare
You don`t understand it, my feeling for you
Well, you`d be honest with me if only you knew

I`m here to create the new imperial empire
I`m gonna do whatever circumstances require
I care so much for you, didn`t think I could
I can`t tell my heart that you`re no good
Well, my parents, they warned me not to risk my years
And I still got their advice oozing out of my ears

You don`t understand it, my feeling for you
Well, you`d be honest with me if only you knew
