Silver Tongue
(Prince)
Love me while you watch the time
And if I falter or lose my rhyme
You will drop me like a useless dime
Cos you ain't no friend of mine , no no
Steer me wrong and drop me off
From a swandive to a bellyflop
The shallow waters that flow in your heart
Will forever keep us apart
You never cease to amaze me
Sometimes I just dont understand ,no,no
The chances you took to play your hand
But you never took my love when it was here
My hearts been through it a thousand times
Like a fair fruit upon the vine
The shiny promise that fades with time
But the seeds are sown and the hope defined
Such a sad way to lose someone (oh yes it is)
To live by "better said than done"
The song you dance , then hide your gun
From those who buy the silver from your tongue
And you never cease to amaze me
Sometimes I just dont understand (I dont)
The chances you took to play your hand
But you never took my love when it was here
The song you dance ,then hide your gun
From those who buy the silver from your tongue
