Love, Truth And Honesty

I was a huge fan of Bananarama as a kid growing up, and not just them, the 80's pop/rock artists I liked the most were all female, names like the Bangles, Tiffany, Kim Wilde and Belinda Carlisle. Bananarama though were a band I grew to like after hearing some of their music blaring out from a disco in north-east Spain, while on a family holiday there. I got their WOW album on vinyl when we got back to the UK and listened to it often over the next few years. Might still have it at my parents house with the few records I do still have. Bananarama are also the only group I have ever been to a concert to watch, specifically in Newport, to which I was kindly taken by my Aunt Catherine. I don't agree with the sentiment of this songs lyrics, as I class myself as a hopeless romantic (with the emphasis firmly on the hopeless). I guess the optimist in me still believes in love.

Love, Truth And Honesty by Bananarama

Never trust your own emotions
They'll always let you down
And the one that's closest to you
May not always be around

I never questioned
The promises you made
Every time I gave my heart
I was betrayed

What a fool
That I should ever believe
In love, truth and honesty
All the time
You just keep on hurting me

Maybe everyone's a stranger
I watch them come and go
But I think everyone's in danger
If they let their feelings show

There's a lesson
And a price you have to pay
If you give your heart
Dont let it be betrayed

What a fool
That I should ever believe
In love, truth and honesty
All the time
You just keep on hurting me

What a fool
Every time I find I'm deceived
Where is the love, truth and honesty
If you see it
Won't you bring it on home to me

There's a lesson
And a price you have to pay
If you give your heart
Dont let it be betrayed

What a fool
That I should ever believe
In love, truth and honesty
All the time
You just keep on hurting me

What a fool
Every time I find I'm deceived
Where is the love, truth and honesty
If you see it
Won't you bring it on home to me
