Double Talk Michael Franks

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 redeye there to meet you and then
All you ever give me is double talk

[Chorus]
Your brand of kindness smarts
You call me when I'm on the chart
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
