Read My Lips (Jewels Hanson/Jake Schaefer) Copyright 1999 Out of the Park Music/TeleTude Music (BMI) Listen to Sound Clip at CDBaby.com
Behind the Music Frustration brews at the funniest times. I wrote this tune in traffic. It's a sassy song and it says exactly what I was feeling. It's a kiss-off song to the Elvis figure in my life. He knows who he is, and our drama was inspiration for more than a few songs. At least this one is fun to sing. Lyrics Read my lips Just go away And I don't wanna' hear what you have to say I found out when the cat is gone the mouse is gonna' play So read my lips you dirty rat and go away
Read my lips Oh honey get lost You've been shoppin' in another store and it's gonna' cost Well you can keep that dime store darlin' that you just bought Read my lips, I'm closin' up shop so get lost
Well I don't feel like forgivin'/ and I sure ain't gonna' forget I know you've got a hundred reasons why I should stay but I ain't heard one good one yet Read my lips Why don't you hit the road Well it'd be such a purty sight just to see you go You said a little kissin' couldn't hurt me if I didn't know So read my lips and baby kiss this and hit the road
Well now you win some and you lose some, But there's one thing that I've learned If you keep playin' with fire baby, One day you'll get burned Well you ain't been gettin' the hint so now baby lemme give you a tip If you can't hear what I'm sayin'/ Read my lips
Well you ain't been gettin' the hint so now baby lemme give you a tip If you can't hear what I'm sayin'/ Read my lips |
