Norm's Top 10 Bananarama songs - #9: 'Love, Truth & Honesty'

So it's time for the next installment in my countdown of my Top 10 Bananarama songs and #9 is...

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

The first new Bananarama song featuring Jacquie in the line-up, this was also their only single to feature her in the songwriting credits. It launched the release of 'The Greatest Hits Collection' - no doubt awkward for Jacquie since all but one of their previous hits were with Siobhan. However, it reached a disappointing No.23 in the charts upon it's release in September 1988. 'The Greatest Hits Collection' was to fare much better in the charts though, peaking at No.3. Check out the fabulous video below with Jacquie looking her vampiest (is that a word?) in a stunning red dress and Sara rocking a snazzy new haircuit.
