[Verse 1]
Smilin' face and lovin' eyes
But you keep on tellin' me all those lies
How'd you expect me to believe?
Honey, I ain't that naïve
Baby, I've 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

[Chorus]
And you can throw me lefts
And you can throw me rights
But where was you last night?
Beatin' around the bush

[Verse 2]
Wish I knew what's on your mind
And why you're being so unkind
Remember those nights we spent alone
Talkin' 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 with you?
[Chorus]
I was talkin' birds
And you was talkin' bees
Or was he down upon his knees?
Beatin' around the bush
Ow

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
You're the meanest woman I've ever known
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
I know what you're lookin' for
You've eaten your cake, you want some more
I'm gonna give you just one more chance
Try to save our romance
Done everythin' I'm gonna do
The rest is up to you

[Chorus]
And you can chew it up
And you can spit it out
Let it all hang out
Beatin' around the bush
Ow
[Guitar Solo]

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