Silent Partner Lyrics - Get Nervous - Pat Benatar

Background voices calling from a distance 

See no evil, hear no evil) 

Static on the line of least resistance 

Don't say nothing at all 

Don't say nothing at all 

Don't say nothing at all 

I'm hanging on a wire, waitin' on the word 

I'm never seen, you're never heard 

The object of desire is seldom ever clear 

I reach for you but all I hear 

Are the background voices calling from a distance 

Silent Partners, listen to the hush

A lover without words is easily deceived 

And rumors easily believed 

The matter of obsession is seldom ever clear 

I turn around, you disappear 

In background voices calling from a distance 

Silent Partners, listen to the hush 

Silent Partners 

You know they don't say nothing at all 

What about the things we never mention? 

What about the things we never say? 

Will we wind up targets of affection? 

In silence, turning silent 

The silent turn away 

A paramour or less, is never really sure 

Exactly what to listen for 

In secret service to the things they never say 

The Silent Partners fade away 

Photos 

To background voices, calling from a distance 

Silent Partners, listen to the hush 

Silent Partners 

You know they don't say nothing at all
