You know that song "sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much"? what's that mean, do you know?

I have made physical contact with lots of people in my life and I've nnever been like "whoa. this is too much honesty"

I heard that song and I was wondering, hmmm, maybe this guy doesn't know what the word "honesty" means? maybe he thinks it means
PLAQUE PSORIASIS

i think you have to read the rest of the lyrics to have a perspective on what they mean. they guy is afraid to fall in love, wants to, but is a little scared.

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subside

Sounds like a stud.
 
The number of songs in the 70s with insipid lyrics was astonishing. I remember my friends and I would make a game out of deconstructing asinine songs.
There was a lot of good music in the 70's and a lot of really, really bad music. Sometimes, to me as a pre-adolescent/adolescent, those songs would feel physically painful.
 
I thought all of the ladies in the 70's wanted a manly man with flowing chest hair and a large gold medallion. :grin:
in the '70's, (from what i remember) the ladies wanted that, but also wanted 'sensitivity' in their man. just think of all those lyrics. lionel richie and all that.
 
hey....i didn't write the lyrics.
it was the late 70's.....everything was a ballad.

I take one Lionel Ritchie over all of the sensitive guys these days, I'll even throw in five Ed Sheeran's.
