I see your eyes sliding right past mine
feel my heart start sinking
Women always want to know
what a man is thinking
Good intentions line the road
said I’d go the distance
Women navigate by landmarks
the path of least resistance
chorus:
Say yes, say uncle, say you like my dress
Say when, say something don’t make me guess
If you lie a little bit by acting just as if nothing happened
it’s so close to the truth
it’s almost just as good
Skin is coin, familiar tender
time’s the bed we lie on
Buttons, zippers, fingers, whispers
how we keep the bargain
chorus
Tenderness and anger tangled up
seamless, interlocking
Background music you can talk right over
If you can call this talking
On the skyline crows coming in
speak a secret language
Show me angels, show me for mercy
show me safer passage
chorus
