Take That Look Off Your Face

you couldn't have seen him yesterday.
He's doing some deal up in Baltimore now,
I hate it when he's away.
You must be mistaken, I'm sure that you are.
There's more than one car with stickers on
and lots of young guys wear corduroy pants,
and I'd know if he hadn't gone.
Take that look off your face.
I can see through your smile.
You would love to be right.
I bet you didn't sleep good last night,
couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door.
Well, I've got news for you: I knew before.
If I'm not mistaken, this is nothing new,
that I can tell you how it began.
I noticed a change, but I just closed my eyes,
as only a woman can.
No, I didn't dig deep.
I did not want to know.
Well, you don't interfere
when you're scared of the things you might hear.
Bet you think I should end this right now as you would do.
Well, my fair weather friend, I am not you.
Take that look off your face!
I can see through your smile.
You would love to be right.
I bet you didn't sleep good last night,
couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door.
Well, I've got news for you: I knew before.
I can see through your smile.
You would love to be right.
I bet you didn't sleep good last night,
couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door.
Well, I've got news for you:
I knew before!
