Soon You Will Be Leaving Your Man |
He always gets so mad things you laugh at |
«Don't get so worked up.» |
you’d say |
But on the back deck you admit that you haven’t felt much |
Like laughing lately anyway |
And so I say, «that could change.» |
I noticed how you waste no time making your way across the room |
You leave a wake of tongues still waving after you |
And it isn’t no coincidence where you finally choose to stand |
I guess soon you will be leaving your man |
It’s a sweet smile and then a denial |
Hey, you are just trying to be nice |
But there is a meaning to every fleeting action you unconsciously decide |
The clocks they chime. |
Now it’s time |
I know you try and play it cool but there are |
Some thoughts you just can’t hide |
Only in your closest friends do you confide |
The way you say you’ll be seeing me |
Oh like it’s so offhand |
I guess soon you will be leaving your man |
You stare at me so boldly now |
You have no lack of confidence |
It’s just those lessons on sublety you missed |
I know you dream of saving me |
Like I’m some plane that you could land |
But when you fly you’ll be leaving your man |
