Shady Business Lyrics - Singles - The Audition

My hands and hair smell of smoke 

My tongue of old black lust and jokes 

Oh, no 

That have been passed through liars 

Lips on to this old weathered parchment 

That has been torn to shreds 

That had stated I was there for everything 

That you needed me to, to hold on 

I know I didn't say enough 

But I know you can't go forcing love 

I know I shouldn't call you up 

'Cause I'd look so desperate for your love, love 

Got caught on calloused heels 

Barefoot, undressed and such a mess 

Unprepared for the next event 

You said you had to go 

What happened to the boy you used to know? 

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no 

But I stated I was there for everything 

That you needed me for, just hold on 

Sick of how I tiptoe through problems 

Lookin' for a way out and around them 

I know I didn't say enough 

But I know you can't go forcing love 

I know I shouldn't call you up 

'Cause I'd look so desperate for your love, love 

I broke someone's heart 

Too bad that it happened to be my own 

Come home, I can promise a better man 

We can push things start 

Start fresh, introduce ourselves again 

And mend all these aching battle scars 

I know I didn't say enough 

But who says you can't go forcing love, love? 

I know I didn't say enough 

But who says you can't go forcing love? 

I know I shouldn't call you up 

'Cause I'd look so desperate for your love, love
