|
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 |
