Mary Chapin Carpenter

Read My Lips

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

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

You aren'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

Baby read my lips

And you can read my mind

Just read my lips baby

One more time, oh
