Song language: English
The Lady Is Lingering |
| Every word pronounced distinctly, slowly |
| There are no contractions, nothing slurred |
| Unprepared you watch in rank amazement |
| As she lights her cigarette and stirs |
| Every motion is complete, no editing of anything |
| Encouraging, encouraging, and not |
| the customary bill of fare |
| Can’t you see the lady is lingering |
| (lingering) |
| This lady’s lingering, and you cannot believe |
| the reason why |
| Every sip is of the smallest quantity |
| That still denotes apparent thirst |
| Every question is a means to draw long answers |
| Play the fool, it doesn’t hurt |
| Splitting, splitting headache coming |
| Get up early in the morning |
| Where are the funny phrases |
| That are always followed by goodbye |
| (Chorus) |
| Is it now all up to you, do you now |
| guide the evening, or do you await |
| a further signal, a look, a touch, a sigh |
| (Chorus) |
| Risky business, all this waiting, wondering |
| A risky business, all this waiting, wondering |
| A risky business, all this waiting, wondering |
| A risky business, all this waiting, wondering |
| (Chorus) |
