The Lady Is Lingering 歌詞

Every word pronounced distinctly, slowly There are no contractions, nothing slurred Unprepared you watch in rank amazement As she lights her cigarette and stirs Every motion is complete, no editing of anything Encouraging, encouraging, and not the customary bill of fore Can't you see the lady is lingering (lingering) This lady's lingering, and you cannot belive the reason why Every sip is of the smallest quantity That still denotes apparent thirst Every question is a means to draw long answers Play the fool, it doesn't hurt Splitting, spliting headache coming Get up early in the morning Where are the funny phrases That are always followed by goodbye (Chorus) Is it now all up to you, do you now guide the evening, or do you await a further signal, a look, a touch, a sigh (Chorus) Risky business, all this waiting, wondering A risky business, all this waiting, wondering A risky business, all this waiting, wondering A risky business, all this waiting, wondering (Chorus)
