I yell at them Toronto Maple Leafs skating badly on TV I accidently kick the coffee table and spill my Jim Beam don't worry dear I'll catch that mess before it hits the new floor ah Lord I almost had it when I tipped the table over... I look at you and catch your frozen stare Try to smile but I can't find one anywhere Woman we got together for better or worse but right now I'd be better off lying in a hearse ooooh I can tell when you're more than just disturbed cause honey you got a way without words! I'm havin fun playin poker with the boys at the club I ain't watchin the clock cause I'm winnin big time bucks I'm settled back with king high and three aces in my hand When the phone rings and I get the nod from bartendin Dan I pick that reciever up and stick it on my ear I softly say "hello is that you dear?" The silence is like listenin to a ghost you might not hear it but you know when one's close ooooh I can tell when you're more than just disturbed cause honey, you got a way without words! I buy you brand new jeans with a leather belt attached You try'em on n ask me if they make you look too fat now I got a big mouth been known to hold a foot I say "you'll always be my girl no matter how you look!" you look at me just like a cat stalking a prey I feel too helpless to look the other way I try to make a joke to change the shallow mood You don't even shift your gaze or slightly move ooooh I can tell when you're more than disturbed cause honey, you got a way without words! Then sometimes dear when evening hours turn mellow I see you look at me like I'm a lucky fellow When the sun goes down and the lights go off I still feel that stare You reach for me pull me close while love repairs our cares I can feel your eyes just like a beacon light I know you'll rescue me from the lonely night The familiar touch I need so much comes from you you give me the hot passion of an eager youth ooooh I can tell when you're more than just disturbed cause honey, you got a way without words The best teachers have the biggest ears |
