Read My Lips Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

A few more cigarettes now honey 

One more jolt of joe 

A couple hours past New York City 

A few more turnpike tolls 

One more minute away from you 

Is a minute that lasts too long 

When I get back we're gonna lock the door baby 

And disconnect the phone 

We could use a week to get reacquainted 

Some time to feel it out 

But leave your small talk back at home baby 

This ain't what that's about 

Just read my lips 

Yes I think you can 

Just read my lips 

And you'll understand 

Well I can see it in your eyes now honey 

'Cause I've seen it in myself 

You've got a few old scars that's ancient history baby 

That was someone else 

Well I could tell you that you're only human 

That you're right to be afraid 

But how can you pull back on me now 

Don't you make that big mistake 

Well you could give it up 

Or you could just give in 

Now it's a choice between the two 

But I weren't born no yesterday baby 

I wasn't born a fool 

Just read my lips 

Yes I think you can 

Just read my lips 

And you'll understand 

Just read my lips 

And you can read my mind 

Just read my lips 

Just one more time 

This ain't no game of cat and mouse 

It ain't no truth or dare 

I ain't got 20 questions for you 

Just one thing to declare 

Just read my lips 

Yes I think you can 

Just read my lips 

And you'll understand 

Just read my lips 

And you can read my mind 

Just read my lips 

Just one more time
