Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

(album: Best Kept Secret - 1983)

I don't wanna talk about it
Do we have to bring it up again
Let sleeping dogs lie
Bring the subject to an end
Your sights are on history
Leave it alone
Let it be
Water under the bridge
Let it flow out to the sea

I said I was sorry
I know that I made a mistake
Won't you please, again
Give me a break
Won't you get beyond it
I'll be straight
I'll be good
Watch and see
Don't go bringing it back to me

I don't wanna talk about I
Do you have to bring it up again
Let sleeping dogs lie
Bring the subject to an end
You got a little letter to grow that thought
But you don't know what hurt you
Well the first time I'd done that you had to catch me in the act

I said I was sorry
I know I made a big mistake
Won't you please, again
Won't you give me a break
Won't you get beyond it
I promise I'll be straight

Don't be so suspicious
Don't go looking for a but
Damned can we clear the air and get back to us
I'll be good
Watch and see
Don't keep bringing it back to me

I said I was sorry
I know that I made a mistake, oh
Again, I wish that you would give me a break
Can't you get beyond it
Gimme a chance to be straight
Don't be so suspicious
Show a little trust
Can we clear the air and get back to us
I'll be good
Watch and see
Don't keep bringing it back to me

Look, it happened
I can't pretend it didn't
I saw it with my own eyes

Let sleeping dogs lie
Let sleeping dogs lie
Let sleeping dogs lie
