You must be mistaken It couldn't have been You couldn't have seen him yesterday He's doing some deal up in Baltimore now I hate it when he's away You must be mistaken I'm sure that you are There's more than one car with stickers on And lots of young guys wear corduroy pants And I'd know if he hadn't gone Take that look off your face (take that look off your face) I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile) You would love to be right I bet you didn't sleep good last night Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door Well, I've got news for you I knew before If I'm not mistaken, it started last year I'm not very clear how it began I noticed a change but I just closed my eyes As only a woman can No, I didn't dig deep (No, I didn't dig deep) I did not want to know (I did not want to know) Well, you don't interfere When you're scared of the things you might hear When he's back, you think I will end it right there and then Well, my fair weather friend, You're wrong again (Take that look off your face) take that look off your face (I can see through your smile) I can see through your smile You would love to be right I bet you didn't sleep good last night Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door Well, I've got news for you I knew before (Take that look off your face) I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile) You would love to be right I bet you didn't sleep good last night Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door Well, I've got news for you I knew before (Take that look off your face) I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile) You would love to be right I bet you didn't sleep good last night Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door Well, I've got news for you I knew before
