Smilin' face and laughin' eyes
But ya can't keep on tellin' me all those lies
How'd you expect me to believe
Honey I ain't that naive
Baby I got my eye on you
Cause you do all the things I want you to

Stop your cryin' and dry your tears

I ain't that wet behind the ears



You can throw me lefts, you can throw me rights

But where was you last night

Beatin' around the bush



Wish I knew what was on your mind

Why you bein' so unkind

Remember those nights we spent alone

Talkin' on the telephone

Thoughts of you goin' through my brain

You told me that you felt the same

You said that you loved me too

But tell me who was there with you



I was talkin' birds, and you was talkin' bees

And was he down on his knees

Beatin' 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 change

Try to save our romance

I've done everything I'm gonna do

The rest is up to you



And you can chew it up, you can spit it out

You can let it all hang out

Beatin' around the bush



And you can chew it up, you can spit it out

You can let it all hang out

Beatin' around the bush
