Dick Curless - Woman, Don't Try to Sing My Song lyrics

Your eyes ain't glowing now Like they were in the tavern where we met And your reluctant attitude tells me Your mind's not fully made up yet Your painted lips ain't wild and warm and sweet Like I imagined they would be With your conscience here between us Holding you close doesn't do a lot for me If you don't feel it in your bones Woman, don't try to sing my song Straighten up your messed up hair Put your high heel slippers back on Don't make yourself no memories That might grieve you later on If you don't feel it in your bones Woman, don't try to sing my song It's obvious you're not a steady patron Of the place where I found you Now that the shades are drawn your innocence has come And wrapped its cloak around you And I've never had a taste for taking pleasure From another human's pain So I'd rather we stay strangers If my knowing you is gonna bring you shame If you don't feel it in your bones
