Dead Giveaway (album version) Lyrics
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.
You're 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, oh.
You keep trying to hide it. (Baby, we know why.)
Now I get a call about 2 a.m.
Saying you don't want to be alone.
I'm tired and half asleep,
But emotions are just a little too strong.
Ooh, 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,
'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, oh, oh.
But tonight, you're committed. (Baby, we know why.)
'Cause you're just a dead giveaway.
A dead giveaway
You're not that naive, girl. (I'm finding out.)
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Is playing deceiver (what you're all about?)
(Guitar solo)
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 than mental stimulation.
I can see it in your eyes.
Ooh, for years, I've been your analyst.
I've been patient as I've been kind.
For years, you played off believing
That I loved you only for your mind.
You're just a dead giveaway.
Girl, you want me like I want you.
Dead giveaway (Dead giveaway)
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.)
Ooh, oh, oh, oh.
But tonight, you're 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.
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.

When I've got myself to blame.
