Honest Man

Somebody, can you tell me
'Bout the difference
One man to another
How come some people are always running down
Everybody around them

And his excuse is, he thinks we're fools
We are useless

We don't know
How to live and let live
Or how to give, when he takes
All he makes, lotta heartbreak
Is that the way of an honest man (honest man)
Doing the best he can?
Is that the way of an honest man (honest man)
Doing the best he can?

I got some good friends
You know they're satisfied
Most of the time with a little
With a little peace, peace of mind

They don't need no alibis
No excuses, no telling lies

You know they know how to live and let live
How to give when they take
They never make a lotta heartbreak (heartbreak)
Honest man
Doing the best he can
That's the way of an honest
Doing the best he can

Honest man (honest man)
Doing the best he can
Don't take a vision, or a religion
Just understanding
Just not that demanding

You don't need alibis
No excuses, no telling lies
When you know how to live and let live
How to give when you take
It will make a lotta heartbreak (heartbreak)
'Cause that's the way of an honest man
Doing the best he can (best he can)
That's the way (honest man)
Doing the best he can
Honest (honest man)
Best he can
Honest man
Doing the best
