The Lady Is Lingering - Sparks

作词：Ron Mael

作曲：Ron Mael

Every word pronounced distinctly slowly

There are no contractions nothing slurred

Unprepared you watch in rank amazement

As she lights her cigarette and stirs

Every motion is complete no editing of anything

Encouraging encouraging and not the

Customary bill of fore

Can't you see the lady is lingering (lingering)

This lady's lingering

And you cannot belive the reason why

Every sip is of the smallest quantity

That still denotes apparent thirst

Every question is a means to draw long answers

Play the fool

It doesn't hurt

Splitting spliting headache coming

Get up early in the morning

Where are the funny phrases

That are always followed by goodbye

Can't you see the lady is lingering (lingering)

This lady's lingering

And you cannot belive the reason why

Is it now all up to you do you now

Guide the evening or do you await

A further signal a look a touch a sigh

Can't you see the lady is lingering (lingering)

This lady's lingering

And you cannot belive the reason why

Risky business all this waiting wondering

A risky business all this waiting wondering

A risky business all this waiting wondering

A risky business all this waiting wondering

Can't you see the lady is lingering (lingering)

This lady's lingering

And you cannot belive the reason why

Don't you konw the lady is lingering (lingering)

This lady's lingering

And you cannot belive the reason why

Don't you know she is
