 How many times have you used that line?
                                            ()
 Did you replace the last two dozen names with mine?
                                       ()
 Was “I love you, baby” second nature by now?
                                                          ()
 ‘Cause it sounds awful rehearsed when the words leave your mouth

             
 I don’t know why
                                         
 But it seems that I’m not the first
         
 To have heard this speech
                             ()
 Is this a routine you just repeat?
                   ()
 'Cause I don’t mean to presume that
                           
 You don’t love me like you say you do
                                           
 But you’re gonna have to prove that you’re true;
                             
 And you’re not just talkin’ smooth

   () x2

                                      ()
 Your performance deserves an academy award
                                                 ()
 And it’s a double-edged-sword ‘cause I sure feel adored
                                        ()
 Just between us, I’d rather see you slip up
                                     
 Don’t you know, it’s those less than perfect words
               ()
 I can’t get enough of


          
 Maybe I’m out of my head
                                
 But I’m telling you, baby, that I’ve been misled
                                        
 So if the record’s off, could you get it set?
            ()
 I don’t mean to presume that
                           
 You don’t love me like you say you do
                                           
 But you’re gonna have to prove that you’re true;
                            
 And you’re not just talkin’ smooth


                                    
 Well you’ve proven your charm is a crime

 Why don’t you see the harm
              
 In relying on this disguise?
        
 You’re losing me with every little
             () x2
 Wink of the eye


              
 The end of my rope
                       
 Is slipping out of my hold
                            
 So, if you’re clever, you’d better
                     
 Do some damage control

                 
 And I don’t know why, but it seems
               
 You’ve made a game out of
          
 Making a fool out of me
                   
 And I did not sign up
                      
 To be your tongue-in-cheek


            ()
 I don’t mean to presume that
                           
 You don’t love me like you say you do
                                           
 But you’re gonna have to prove that you’re true;
                                () x2
 And you’re not just talkin’ smooth
                                        ()
 Oh can you prove you’re not just talkin’ smooth
