Beating Around The Bush
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 on my knees
Baby I got my eye on you
'Cause you do all the things they 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
But where was you last 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 said that you love me too
You told me he was out with you
I was talkin' birds
And you was talkin' bees
Oh 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 ate your cake, you want some more
I'm gonna give you just a one more chance
Try to save our romance
That is the thing 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
