He always gets so mad things you laugh at   "Don't get so worked up," you'd say   But on the back deck you admit   That you haven't felt much like laughing lately anyway   And so I say, "That could change"      I noticed how you waste no time   Making your way across the room   You leave a wake of tongues still waving after you   And it isn't no coincidence   Where you finally choose to stand   I guess soon you will be leaving your man      It's a sweet smile and then a denial   Hey, you are just trying to be nice   But there is a meaning to every fleeting action   You unconsciously decide   The clocks, they chime   Now it's time      I know you try and play it cool   But there are some thoughts you just can't hide   Only in your closest friends do you confide   The way you say you'll be seeing me   Oh, like it's so offhand   I guess soon you will be leaving your man      You stare at me so boldly now   You have no lack of confidence   It's just those lessons on subtlety you missed   I know you dream of saving me   Like I'm some plane that you could land   But when you fly you'll be leaving your man
