George Jones - Silent Partners lyrics

He stands in the doorway, his hands upon his hips She stands by the punch bowl, a sweet smile on her lips He slowly walks up to her, she reaches out for him It's almost like some magnet is pulling both of them And he says... and she says... Silent partners, they don't say a word She is the adjective and he is the verb They speak with their bodies and they talk with their eyes They don't make no promises, so they don't tell no lies Silent partners, silent partners Later in their love nest, at half-past ecstasy They cling to each other and lie there silently She would like to tell him what she feels in her heart And he would like to share his soul But don't know where to start So he says... and she says... Silent partners, they don't say a word She is the adjective and he is the verb They speak with their bodies and they talk with their eyes They don't make no promises, so they don't tell no lies Silent partners, silent partners They speak with their bodies and they talk with their eyes They don't make no promises, so they don't tell no lies Silent partners, silent partners Silent partners, silent partners Silent partners
