Beating Around the Bush

Smilin' face and lovin' eyes

But ya 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 you wanted 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?

Beatin' 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 said that you love me too

Tell me who was there with you

I was talking birds

And you was talking bees

And was he 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'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 everythin' 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
