Beating Around the Bush

[Verse 1] Smiling face and loving eyes But you keep on telling me all those lies How do you expect me to believe Honey I isn’t that naive Baby I got my eye on you But you do all the things that I want you to Stop your crying and dry your tears I isn’t that wet behind the ears [Chorus 1] You can throw me left And you can throw me right The way we do this night Beating around the bush [Verse 2] Wish I knew what's on your mind Why you're being so unkind? Remember those nights you spent alone Talking on the telephone? Thoughts of you go through my brain You told me that you felt the same You told me that you love me too Tell me who would lie with you? [Chorus 2] I was talking birds And you was talking bees And he was down upon his knees Beating around the bush [Verse 3] You're the meanest woman I've ever known Sticks and stones won't break my bones I know what you're looking for You ate your cake, you want some more I'm going to give you just a one more chance Try to save our romance Done everything I'm going to do The rest is up to you [Chorus 3][x2] You can chew it up And you can spit it out Let it all hang out Beating around the bush
