Tell Me Smooth

[Intro]
(Can I see, ya baby, babe)
(Can I see, ya baby, babe)
(Can I see, ya bed again)
(Can I see, ya babe)

[Verse 1]
Oh-oh-oh every day is the same
I walk alone again
I know now (I know now)
Oh-oh-oh time and time again I see
Everybody stayin' from me
I know, I know
And I know it's coming
I'm safe until morning
But, just say what's on your mind
'Cause I've been here a thousand times

[Chorus]
So won't you hold me
'Cause I needed you more
And don't tell me
Like I've heard it before
Don't tell me smooth
I don't need that from you
And when you leave me
Don't you tell me smooth

[Post-Chorus]
(Can I see, ya baby, babe)
(Can I see, ya bed again)

[Verse 2]
Oh-oh-oh everybody told me so
You would pack your things, and you'd be leaving
(Be leaving)
Oh-oh-oh I guess I wasn't man enough
You just didn't give a..., believe it
And I've heard this story
Don't you tell it for me
Just don't lay that sugarcoat
Before you're gone and hit the road

[Chorus]
So won't you hold me
'Cause I needed you more
And don't tell me
Like I've heard it before
Don't tell me smooth
I don't need that from you
And if you leave me
Don't you tell me smooth

[Post-Chorus]
(Can I see, ya baby, babe)
(Can I see, ya bed again)

[Bridge]
Don't say you did it for me
Don't say you've eased my pain
No, no, no
I'll take you word for it the worth
Go on lie to me, don't tell me smooth

[Chorus]
Because I'm needing you more
(Tell me) Tell me, tell me, like I've heard it before
So won't you hold me (Hold me)
'Cause I'm needing you more
And don't tell me (Tell me, tell me)
Like I've heard it before
Don't tell me smooth
I don't need that from you (You)
And if you leave me (Leave me)
Don't you tell me

[Outro]
Don't tell me smooth
I don't need that from you
And if you leave me (Leave me)
Don't you tell me smooth
