No Great Shakes Lyrics - Singles - Webb Wilder

Why you let me get this close I can't say 

Close but no cigar, it's still too far away 

If I reach for you, will you run? 

If I tag along, will I spoil the fun? 

If I play it cool, will you think I'm playin' dumb? 

My mind tumbles when I talk to you 

You wouldn't think it would be so hard to do 

You're a nightingale, I'm a mockingbird 

Every song I sing is a song you've heard 

When it comes to love, guess, I just ain't got the word 

I'm no great Shakes at reading your mind 

No great Shakes at sayin' my lines 

Show me a sign, give me a clue 

Tell me what it takes to get through to you 

The crystal ball ain't all it's cracked up to be 

The psychic hotline, hell, that's way too deep for me 

But there's no lip service I won't pay 

No cliche that I won't say 

There's no rhyme that I won't lay on you 

Still I'm no great Shakes at reading your mind 

No great Shakes at standin' in line 

Give me a sign, show me a clue 

Tell me what it takes to get through to you 

No great Shakes at reading your mind 

No great Shakes at standin' in line 

Give me a sign, show me a clue 

Tell me what it takes, no great Shakes 

At readin' your mind 

No great Shakes, no great Shakes 

Bidin' my time, tell me, what it takes 

'Cause I'm no great Shakes
