Beating Around the Bush

[Strophe I:] Smiling face and laughing eyes But you keep on telling me all those lies How do you expect me to believe Honey I ain't that naive Baby I got my eye on you Cause you do all the things that I want you to Stop your crying and dry your tears I ain't that wet behind the ears You can throw me lefts And you can throw me rights But where was you last night [Chorus:] Beating around the bush [Strophe II:] Wish I knew what's on your mind Why you're being so unkind? Remember those nights we spent alone? Talking on the telefone 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 was there with you? I was talking birds And you was talking bees Was he was down upon his knees [Chorus] [Strophe III:] 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 | you've eaten) your cake, you want some more I'm gonna give you just a one more chance Try to save our romance I've done everything I'm gonna do The rest is up to you You can chew it up And you can spit it out Let it all hang out [Chorus]
