 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
