Talking Smooth

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 yeah well

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

You're not just talking smooth

Your performance deserves an Academy Award

And it's a double edged sword 'cause I sure feel adored

Well 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 yeah well

Maybe I'm out on my head

But I'm telling you baby that I've been misled

So if the record's off well could you get it sent here

I don't need to presume that

You don't love me like you say you do

But you're gonna have to prove that you're true

You're not just talking smooth

Well you prove that your tongue is a crime

Why don't you see the hurt and rely 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

Yeah so if you're clever you'd better do some damage control

I don't know why but it seems you made

A game of making a fool out of me

And I did not sign up to be your tongue and cheek

I don't need 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 talking smooth

Oh can you prove that you're not just talking smooth
