Double Talker

(album: Beatin' The Odds - 1980)

You said you loved me baby,
I believed in you,
But the words you're saying now,
Just ain't ringing true,
Lord you been stepping 'round,
With someone new,
And that look that's in your eyes,
Been telling on you.

I just can't take it baby,
All your running 'round,
You know you make me look,
Just like a clown,
But a change better come on soon,
Or I'll be gone,
I can't be hanging 'round with all of this,
Going on.

You're telling me lies,
With those lying eyes,
You take me for a fool,
I've seen the light,
You better get right,
Tell me baby,
What you trying to do,
oooh you double talking fool.

You've been singing that same ol' song,
And I've been crying the blues,
I've just about had enough,
Enough of being used,
Gonna be some changes coming,
Changes coming soon,
I've had my fill of your sweet talking,
Now you're gonna pay your dues.

I just can't take it baby,
All your running 'round,
You know you make me look,
Just like a clown,
But a change is coming soon,
Or I'll be gone,
I won't be anyone's fool,
For very long.

You better change your ways,
Here one of these days,
Or I'll send you back to school,
Better shoot straight,
Before it's too late,
'Cause I tell you baby,
I'll be putting on my walking shoes,
I'm running from a double talking fool.
