Lyrics Call A Spade a Spade - Turnpike Troubadours

Call A Spade a Spade

You’ve got a ring
You’ve got a new last name
You’ve got the same old eyes
They’re the same, all the same
And you’ve got a heart
Big enough to kill us all
But when you fall
Well damn, you fall
Well you’ve got a way
And you’ve got away with it before
And you’ve got a look
That could drop me dead here on the floor
And you’ve got a touch
It’s the sweetest one I know
I’ve gotta go, yeah I’ve gotta go
Oh and everything’s so easy up until it’s complicated
Until we wake with our heads shakin' at the choices we have made
Well to call the whole thing «stupid» seems so sorely understated
But can we dance a little longer?
Can we call a spade a spade?
Well you gotta try
Awful hard to keep ahead
You’ve got a man (I've got a man)
Oh and I’ve been actin' like a kid
And you’ve got more
Than a tattoo up your sleeve
It’s time to leave (It's time to leave)
It’s time to leave
Oh and everything’s so easy up until it’s complicated
Until we wake with our heads shakin' at the choices we have made
Well to call the whole thing «stupid» seems so sorely understated
But can we dance a little longer?
Can we call a spade a spade?
Well I’ve gotta quit
Yeah darlin', I guess I do too
Well I’ll take a hint (Oh, take a hint)
It’s high-time we get a clue
And darlin' please (Oh please)
Wells could you stop sayin' love?
Oh this ain’t love (No this ain’t love)
Good God above
Oh and everything’s so easy up until it’s complicated
Until we wake with our heads shakin' at the choices we have made
Well to call the whole thing «stupid» seems so sorely understated
But can we dance a little longer?
Can we call a spade a spade?
Can we dance a little longer?
Can we call a spade a spade?
