Soon You'll Be Leaving Your Man Lyrics - Bright Eyes

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
