M*: I can tell by the way you walk you want be alone with him, 'cause you're pacing at an open door. You're waiting, and you can't come in.

F: Why do you make up all these stories? Made up your mind, decided for me.

M: I can tell by the way you walk you want be alone with him.
When you called me on the telephone, I knew that you were miles away, 'cause the words that you said to me weren't hiding what you couldn't say.

F: Plans sort of changed up for the weekend. Friend came to town, been years since I've seen him...

M: I can tell by the way you talk you wanna be alone with him. Alone with him...

Chorus: Alone with him...

M: He was in my dreams...

Chorus: What else could it mean?

M: When you laugh at me behind my back, I'll turn and you can run away. Will you tell him all the special things you told me you could never say?

F: I never said I'd be yours only--I didn't know until you told me. If I go I won't be lonely. If I stay, now, you don't own me.

M: I can tell by the way you smile your love is changing on a whim.

Chorus: Maybe I will and maybe I won't; maybe I do and maybe I don't.

M: I can tell by the way you walk...
