Beating Around the Bush

Smilin' face and lovin' eyes
But ya keep on tellin' me all those lies
How do you 'xpect me to believe
Honey, I ain't around naive

Baby, I got my eye on you
Do all the things you want to do
Stop your cryin' and dry your tears
I ain't that wet behind the ears

You can throw me lefts
And you can throw me rights
But where was you last night?
Beatin' 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 to you

I was talking birds
And you was talking bees
And he was down upon his knees
Beatin' around the bush

Oh!

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, and want some more

I'm gonna give you just a one more chance
Try to save our romance
I've done everythin' 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
Beatin' around the bush

Oh!

Chew it up
Spit it out
Let it all hang out
Beatin' around the bush
