BEATING AROUND THE BUSH

 (Young - Young - Scott)

 

 Smilin' face and laughin' eyes

 But ya can't keep on tellin' me all those lies

 How'd you expect me to believe

 Honey I ain't that naive

 Baby I 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

 

 You can throw me lefts, you can throw me rights

 But where was you last night

 Beatin' around the bush

 

 Wish I knew what was on your mind

 Why you bein' so unkind

 Remember those nights we spent alone

 Talkin' on the telephone

 Thoughts of you goin' through my brain

 You told me that you felt the same

 You said that you loved me too

 But tell me who was there with you

 

 I was talkin' birds, and you was talkin' bees

 And was he down on his knees

 Beatin' around the bush

 

 You're the meanest woman I've ever known

 Sticks and stones won't break my bones

 I know what you're looking for

 You've eaten your cake you want some more

 I'm gonna give you just a one more change

 Try to save our romance

 I've done everything I'm gonna do

 The rest is up to you

 

 And you can chew it up, you can spit it out

 You can let it all hang out

 Beatin' around the bush

 

 And you can chew it up, you can spit it out

 You can let it all hang out

 Beatin' around the bush
