Beating Around the Bush
Smiling face and loving eyes<br/> But you keep on telling me all those lies<br/> How do you expect me to believe<br/> Honey I ain't that naive<br/> <br/> Baby I got my eye on you<br/> 'Cause you do all the things I want you to<br/> Stop your cryin' and dry your tears<br/> I ain't that wet behind the ears<br/> <br/> You can throw me lefts<br/> And you can throw me rights<br/> But where was you last night<br/> Beating around the bush<br/> <br/> Wish I knew what's on your mind<br/> Why you being so unkind?<br/> Remember those nights we spent alone<br/> Talkin' on the telephone?<br/> <br/> Thoughts of you goin' through my brain<br/> You told me that you felt the same<br/> You said that you loved me too<br/> But tell me who was there with you<br/> <br/> I was talking birds and you was talking bees<br/> And was he down on his knees<br/> Beatin' 'round the bush<br/> <br/> You're the meanest woman I've ever known<br/> Sticks and stones won't break my bones<br/> I know what you're looking for<br/> You eaten your cake, you want some more<br/> I'm gonna give you just a one more chance<br/> Try to save our romance<br/> Done everything I'm gonna do<br/> The rest is up to you<br/> <br/> You can chew it up<br/> And you can spit it out<br/> Let it all hang out<br/> Beating around the bush, oh<br/> <br/> Chew it up, spit it out<br/> Let it all hang out,<br/> Beating around the bush
