lyrics

The Naked Truth

[VERSE]:
In this life
What good is solitude?
Where’s the thrill
Of being alone?
What is the upside of no one
To run
Quick to your side?
In this life
When you are standing nude
Trying to will
Away the unknown,
Where is the someone to hold dear?
Hold near?
To share the ride?

[CHORUS]:
Believe in compromise,
Give up to give,
How can I defer to you?
To see life through your eyes
And then to live
To build love from two points of view,
A love so true,
So mutual, it always supplies
All the love that you need,
All the tenderness,
All it takes is compromise!

[VERSE]:
In this life
The pleasure of teasing you,
To see your face
When I make you laugh,
Hoping that I can win your smile
So I’ll
Know that you care,
In this life
The pleasure of pleasing you,
The warm embrace
Of which I am half,
That’s how a true love is nourished,
Flourished,
The love we share.

[CHORUS]:
Believe in tenderness,
Believe in love,
Believe love can be your guide,
Believe answers are yes
To your dreams of
Love with arms that open wide,
Bring you inside
A special place where you can receive
All the love that you need,
All the tenderness,
All it takes is to believe!

(He doesn’t notice that She has awakened and has heard much of what He’s sung. During the spare phrases of what would be the next verse, He stands, deeply introspective. He therefore doesn’t hear her as She slips noiselessly behind him. When She touches him lightly, He starts. Perhaps She drapes a hand on his shoulder; perhaps he reaches for it to hold. But clearly they are joined.
They then sing the chorus together in a two-part harmony, and possibly eventually four if joined by other singers.)

[CHORUS]:
Believe in tenderness,
Believe in love,
Believe love can be your guide,
Believe answers are yes
To your dreams of
Love with arms that open wide,
Bring you inside
A special place where you can receive
All the love that you need,
All the tenderness,
All it takes is to believe!
