Lyrics:

Smiling face and loving 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

But 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 left

And you can throw me right

The way we do this night

Beating around the bush



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?



I was talking birds [I was talking about birds]

And you was talking bees [And you was talking about bees]

And (he was down)(?) upon his knees

Beating around the bush



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 gonna give you just a one more chance

Try to save our romance

Done everything I'm gonna do [That's all 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

Beating around the bush



Oh.

Chew it up

Spit it out

Let it all hang out

Beating around the bush
