Figure Of Speech Lyrics - Joan Armatrading

He'll teach you to wait by the phone 

And then won't call 

Throw your life in a turmoil 

And when you fall 

Just when you need him most 

He won't see you 

Don't let him 

Don't let him 

Don't let him get you down

Watch Janelle Monáe's Sci-Fi film 'Dirty Computer' 

When your dreams get shattered 

Down where nothing matters 

But if he won't have you 

You can bet your life 

Bet your life 

It's not the end 

And if he can't see 

What a friend you are 

That's his loss 

It's not the end 

Don't let him 

Don't let him 

Don't let him get you down 

Photos 

Watch his lips while he speaks 

And read his eyes 

It's a figure of speech 

So don't be surprised 

When he talks of love 

But his deeds can break you 

Don't let him 

Don't let him 

Don't let him get you down
