How long you gonna carry on 
This one on one charade 
Let's don't and then say we did 
That's the game you like to play

We've been through this so many times 
The end results always the same 
I always end up complaining 
When I've got myself to blame

You're just a dead giveaway 
You'd think I'd learn to handle this by now 
You're just a dead giveaway

Girl you can't deny it 
(Even though you try) 
You keep trying to hide it 
(Baby we know why)

I get a call about 2am 
Saying you don't want to be alone 
Now I'm tired and half asleep 
But emotions are just a little too strong

I figure that I'd call your bluff 
Cause you want me to come on by 
Girl you know it's your love I've always wanted 
And this time I won't be denied

Cause you're a dead giveaway 
Girl you want me like I want you 
A dead giveaway

You're scared but you won't admit it 
(Even though you try) 
But tonight you're committed 
(Baby we know why)

Cause you're just a dead giveaway

You're not that naive girl 
(I'm finding out) 
Is playing deceiver 
(What you're all about)

Well now that you're serious 
It's time to take off that disguise 
You want more that mental stimulation 
I can see it in your eyes

For years I've been your analyst 
I've been as patient as I've been kind 
For years you've played off believing 
That I loved you for only your mind

'Cause you're a dead giveaway

I can tell by the look in your eye 
That you're a dead giveaway

I'm finding out 
What you're all about

You're just a dead giveaway
