YOU SAID “READ MY LIPS” / I SAID “I ONLY SPEAK IN ENGLISH” / BABY’S IN THE CRIB, YOU AIN’T SLEPT IN DAYS / TAKES ONE GOOD GLASS OF WINE TO GET YOUR MOTOR MOVING / I DON’T DO TOO MUCH DRINKING ANYMORE THESE DAYS / WILL YOU WRAP A BLANKET ‘ROUND MY SHOULDERS WHEN I’M COLD? / WILL YOU HOLD MY HAND IN THE GROCERY STORE? / WILL YOU STAND BESIDE ME WHEN I’M FEELING AWFUL RECKLESS? / WILL YOU LET ME DRIVE AND NOT TELL ME TO SLOW IT DOWN? / CAN YOU TURN ON THE LIGHT, I’M SITTING HERE IN DARKNESS? / I CAN’T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LIKE THE WAY IT FEELS / WANNA GRAB BEER? MAYBE CATCH A MOVIE? / YOUR LOOKING KINDA ANGRY ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO? / YOU SAID “READ MY LIPS” / I SAID “I ONLY SPEAK IN ENGLISH” / YOU SAID “HOW HIGH’S THE RENT? HAVE YOU MADE ANY FRIENDS?” / THEY PAINTED PICTURES ON THE WALLS / THEN WENT AND RAISED THE TAXES / SAY, “HAVE YOU HAD ANY MORE OF YOUR RUN INS WITH THE LAW?”
