Lip Service - Michael Franks

Here we are again

That fatal combination

I guess it’s opposite attraction

It’s gone too far again

This crazy conversation

It’s like a nuclear reaction

Lady your lip service has no rival

Don’t you know deception is uncouth?

Didn’t you read somewhere in the Bible

Not to bend the truth?

If you think your lip service will amaze me

You’re utterly confused — that much is clear

'Cause baby your lip service doesn’t faze me

It’s so insincere

It’s only lip service

It’s nothin' but lip service

There you are again

Unable to conceal it

That hourglass configuration

It’s gone too far again

Believe me, I can feel it

I can’t resist that old temptation

Lady your lip service can be vicious

Don’t you know deception is uncouth?

However your lips look so delicious

While they bend the truth

Give me some lip service, just attack me

I know I have asked you to be real

But sometimes your lip service is exactly

What I want to feel

Tired of of truces

Eloquence is useless

Eighty-six it

'Cause all this talk won’t fix it
