talkin smooth

Kate Voegele

How many times have you used that line?
did you replace the last two dozen names with mine?
is Â?I love you babyÂ? second nature by now?

Cause it sounds awful rehearsed
when the words leave your mouth
I donÂ?t know why but it seems

That iÂ?m not the first to have heard this speech
is this a routine you just repeat?
cause I donÂ?t mean to presume
that you donÂ?t love me like you say you do but
youÂ?re gonna have to prove that youÂ?re true
and youÂ?re not just talkinÂ? smooth

Your performance deserves an academy award
and itÂ?s a double edged sword cause I sure feel adored

But just between us iÂ?d rather see you slip up
donÂ?t you know that itÂ?s those
less than perfect words I canÂ?t get enough of

Maybe IÂ?m outta my head
but iÂ?m telling you baby that IÂ?ve been misled
so if the recordÂ?s off well could you get it set?
I donÂ?t mean to presume
that you donÂ?t love me like you say you do but
youÂ?re gonna have to prove that youÂ?re true
and youÂ?re not just talkinÂ? smooth

Well youÂ?ve proven your charm is a crime
oh and ooooh why donÂ?t you see
the harm in relying on this disguise
youÂ?re losing me with every little wink of the eye

The end of my rope is slipping out of my hold
so if youÂ?re clever youÂ?d better do some damage control

I donÂ?t know why but it seems
youÂ?ve made a game of making a fool outta me
and I did not sign up to be
your tongue-in-cheek, hey oh yeah
I donÂ?t mean to presume
that you donÂ?t love me like you say you do but
youÂ?re gonna have to prove that youÂ?re true
and youÂ?re not just talkinÂ? smooth
oh can you prove youÂ?re not just talkinÂ? smooth
