[Verse 1]
How many times
Have you used that line?
Did you replace the last
Two dozen names with mine?
Is "I love you baby"
Second nature by now?
Oh, 'cause it sounds awful rehearsed
When the words leave your mouth, yeah

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well, I don’t know why
But it seems that I’m not the first
To have heard this speech
Is this a routine you just repeat?

[Chorus]
Oh, 'cause I don’t mean to presume that
You don’t love me like you say you do but
You’re gonna have to prove that you’re true
And you’re not just talking smooth, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Your performance deserves
An Academy Award, yeah
And it’s a double edged sword
'Cause I sure feel adored
Well, just between us
I’d rather see you slip up, yeah
Don’t you know that it’s those less than perfect words
I can’t get enough of, oh, oh, well, yeah
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Maybe I’m outta my head
But I’m telling you baby that I’ve been misled
So if the record’s off well
Could you get it set?

[Chorus]
Yeah, and I don’t mean to presume that
You don’t love me like you say you do but
You’re gonna have to prove that you’re true
And you’re not just talking smooth

[Bridge]
Well you’ve proven your charm is a crime
Oh and oooh why don’t you see the harm in relying
On this disguise
You’re losing me with every little wink of the eye, hey, hey

[Verse 3]
The end of my rope
Is slipping out of my hold
So if you’re clever
You’d better do some damage control

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I don’t know why
But it seems you’ve made a game of making a fool outta me
And I did not sign up
To be your tongue-in-cheek, hey, oh yeah
[Chorus]
And I don’t mean to presume that
You don’t love me like you say you do, but
You’re gonna have to prove that you’re true
And you’re not just talking smooth, whoa, oh, oh

[Outro]
Not just talkin’ smooth?
