Mary Chapin Carpenter "Read My Lips" |
A few more cigarettes now honey One more jolt of joe A couple hours past New York City A few more turnpike tolls One more minute away from you Is a minute that lasts too long When I get back we're gonna lock the door baby And disconnect the phone We could use a week to get reacquainted Some time to feel it out But leave your small talk back at home baby This ain't what that's about Just read my lips Yes I think you can Just read my lips And you'll understand Well I can see it in your eyes now honey 'Cause I've seen it in myself You've got a few old scars that's ancient history baby That was someone else Well I could tell you that you're only human That you're right to be afraid But how can you pull back on me now Don't you make that big mistake Well you could give it up Or you could just give in Now it's a choice between the two But I weren't born no yesterday baby I wasn't born a fool Just read my lips Yes I think you can Just read my lips And you'll understand Just read my lips And you can read my mind Just read my lips Just one more time This ain't no game of cat and mouse It ain't no truth or dare I ain't got 20 questions for you Just one thing to declare Just read my lips Yes I think you can Just read my lips And you'll understand Just read my lips And you can read my mind Just read my lips Just one more time Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
