Beating Around the Bush

Smiling face and loving eyes

But you keep on telling me all those lies

Well, how do you expect me to believe?

Well, honey, I ain't that naive

Baby, I've got my eye on you

'Cause you do all the things I want you to

Stop your crying and dry your tears

I ain't that wet behind the ears

And you can throw me lefts

And you can throw me rights

But where was you last night?

Beating around the bush

Wish I knew what's on your mind

Why you being so unkind?

Remember those nights we spent alone

Talking on the telephone?

Thoughts of you go through my brain

Told me that you felt the same

Don't say that you love me too

Tell me, who would lie with you?

I was talkin' birds

And you was talkin' bees

Or was he down upon his knees?

Beating around the bush

Ooh

You're the meanest woman I've ever known

Sticks and stones won't break my bones

I know what you're lookin' for

You've eaten your cake, you want some more

Oh, I'm gonna give you just one more chance

Try to save our romance

Done everythin' I'm gonna do

The rest is up to you

And you can chew it up

And you can spit it out

Let it all hang out

Beating around the bush

Ow

Chew it up

Spit it out

Let it all hang out

Beating around the bush
