Smooth Talkin’
© 2007 Mitch Townley/Paul Buckles (BMI)

(v1)
My little lady’s feeling kinda low
Once again she caught me watching Faith Hill videos
Asked me what I saw in her
I almost spoke but caught my words
And then before my foot could fill my mouth
I did some smooth-talkin’ just to wiggle out.

(chorus)
Smooth talkin’…can get you off the hook
Smooth talkin’s … the remedy when you get “that look”
A double –talkin’ dance you see
Can keep you out of misery
Remember what they say about how “Truth hurts”
Smooth talkin’…. does wonders when it works.

(v2)
She had me tag–along out to the mall
Walking through the food court was no problem at all
But then we stopped into the “Gap”
She asked “do these jeans make me fat”
I realized I might be up a creek
If I didn’t caref’lly choose the words to speak.

(repeat chorus)

(Bridge:)
There’s always a good reason why
I stretch the truth or give an alibi
I don’t want to hurt her feelings so I try…..
Smooth, smooth, smooth talkin’…….

( repeat chorus)
