He stands in the doorway, his hands upon his hips   She stands by the jukebox, a sweet smile on her lips   He slowly walks up to her, she reaches out for him   It's almost like some magnet is pulling both of them      Then he says, and she says      Silent partners,they don't say a word   She is the adjective and he is the verb   They speak with their bodies and they talk with their eyes   They don't make no promises so they don't tell no lies   Silent partners, silent partners      Later in their love nest at half past ecstasy   They cling to each other and lie there silently   She would like to tell him what she feels in her heart   And he would like to bare his soul but don't know where to start      So he says, and she says      Silent partners, they don't say a word   She is the adjective and he is the verb   They speak with their bodies and they talk with their eyes   They don't make no promises so they don't tell no lies   Silent partners, silent partners, silent partners, silent partners
