Double Talk - Michael Franks

Every time I asked you to be truthful you lied

And when I lost my temper you cried

Crocodile tears and spoke double talk

It’s the same old alibis and stories again

I redeye there to meet you and then

All you ever give me is double talk

You think that love means cope

Your life is like some daytime soap

Where all the dialogue is just double talk

Well I’ve got news for you

This little drama’s through

'Cause I can’t take no more of your double talk

Your double talk

You’re so jive — sometimes I think your brain was mislaid

You’ve broken every promise you made

You ought to see a doctor for double talk

Never mind 'bout all the times we started again

I had the idea there to meet you and then

All you ever give me is double talk

Your brand of kindness smarts

You call me when I’m on the charts

But all you ever give me is double talk

Well I’ve got news for you

This little drama’s through

'Cause I can’t take no more of your double talk

Your double talk

Musical Interlude

It may come as quite a shock

But I’m hip to your double talk

All you ever give me is double talk

Each time you lie your profile grows-

It looks just like Pinocchio’s

And I can’t take no more of your double talk

It may come as quite a shock

But I’m hip to your double talk

All you ever give me is double talk

Each time you lie your profile grows-

It looks just like Pinocchio’s

And I can’t take no more of your double talk
