Silent Partners - George Jones

He stands in the doorway, his hands upon his hips

She stands by the punch bowl, 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

And 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 share 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

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

Silent partners
