Read My Lips — текст песни (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

(Mary Chapin Carpenter)

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
