He always gets so mad things you laugh at "Don't get so worked up," you'd say But on the back deck you admit That you haven't felt much like laughing lately anyway And so I say, "That could change" I noticed how you waste no time Making your way across the room You leave a wake of tongues still waving after you And it isn't no coincidence Where you finally choose to stand I guess soon you will be leaving your man
It's a sweet smile and then a denial Hey, you are just trying to be nice But there is a meaning to every fleeting action You unconsciously decide The clocks, they chime Now it's time I know you try and play it cool But there are some thoughts you just can't hide Only in your closest friends do you confide The way you say you'll be seeing me Oh, like it's so offhand I guess soon you will be leaving your man
