| [Verse 1] How long you gonna carry on This one on one charade? Let's don't and then say we did That's the game you like to play Ooh, we've been through this so many times The end result's always the same I always end up complaining When I've got myself to blame [Chorus] You're just a dead giveaway, yeah You'd think I'd learn to handle this by now You're just a dead giveaway (Dead giveaway) Girl, you can't deny it (Even though you try), oh oh You keep trying to hide it (Baby, we know why) [Verse 2] I get a call about 2 a.m Saying you don't wanna be alone I'm tired and half asleep But emotions are just a little too strong Oo, I figured that I'd call your bluff 'Cause you want me to come on by Girl, you know it's your love I've always wanted But this time I won't be denied [Chorus] 'Cause you're a dead giveaway, hey You want me like I want you You're just a dead giveaway (Dead giveaway) You're scared but you won't admit it (Even though you try), ooh yeah But tonight you're committed (Baby, we know why) 'Cause you're just a dead giveaway A dead giveaway You're not that naïve, girl (I'm finding out), ooh ooh Is playing deceiver (What you're all about?) Dead giveaway Dead giveaway Girl, you can't deny it (Even though you try), ooh ooh, baby You keep trying to hide it (Baby, we know why) Well, now that you're serious It's time to take off that disguise You want more that mental stimulation I can see it in your eyes Oo, for years I've been your analyst I've been as patient as I've been kind For years you've played off believing That I loved you for only your mind [Pre-Chorus] You're just a dead giveaway Girl, you want me like I want you Dead giveaway [Chorus] Dead giveaway You've been holding back for too long You're a dead giveaway (Dead giveaway) You're scared but you won't admit it (Even though you try), oo oh But tonight you are committed (Baby, we know why) 'Cause you're a dead giveaway I can tell by the look in your eyes A dead giveaway (Dead giveaway) I'm finding out What you're all about? You're just a dead giveaway |
