[Verse 1]
|
How many times have you used that line?
|
Did you replace the last two dozen names with mine?
|
Is "I love you, baby" second nature by now?
|
'Cause it sounds awful rehearsed when the words leave your mouth
|
|
I don't know why but it seems
|
That I'm not the first to have heard this speech
|
Is this a routine you just repeat?
|
'Cause I don't mean to presume
|
That you don't love me like you say you do
|
But you're gonna have to prove that you're true
|
And you're not just talkin' smooth
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Your performance deserves an Academy Award
|
And it's a double edged sword 'cause I sure feel adored
|
But just between us I'd rather see you slip up
|
Don't you know that it's those less than perfect words I can't get enough of
|
|
Maybe I'm outta my head
|
But I'm telling you baby that I've been misled
|
so if the record's off, well could you get it set?
|
I don't mean to presume
|
That you don't love me like you say you do
|
But you're gonna have to prove that you're true
|
And you're not just talkin' smooth
|
|
Well you've proven your charm is a crime
|
Oh and ooooh why don't you see
|
The harm in relying on this disguise
|
You're losing me with every little wink of the eye
|
|
The end of my rope is slipping out of my hold
|
So if you're clever you'd better do some damage control
|
|
I don't know why but it seems
|
You've made a game of making a fool outta me
|
And I did not sign up to be your tongue-in-cheek, hey oh yeah
|
I don't mean to presume that you don't love me like you say you do
|
But you're gonna have to prove that you're true
|
And you're not just talkin' smooth
|
Oh, can you prove you're not just talkin' smooth
|
