Talkin' Smooth Lyrics - Kate Voegele

[Verse 1]

How many times have you used that line?

Did you replace the last two dozen names with mine?

Is "I love you, baby" second nature by now?

'Cause it sounds awful rehearsed when the words leave your mouth

I don't know why but it seems

That I'm not the first to have heard this speech

Is this a routine you just repeat?

'Cause I don't mean to presume

That you don't love me like you say you do

But you're gonna have to prove that you're true

And you're not just talkin' smooth

[Verse 2]

Your performance deserves an Academy Award

And it's a double edged sword 'cause I sure feel adored

But just between us I'd rather see you slip up

Don't you know that it's those less than perfect words I can't get enough of

Maybe I'm outta my head

But I'm telling you baby that I've been misled

so if the record's off, well could you get it set?

I don't mean to presume

That you don't love me like you say you do

But you're gonna have to prove that you're true

And you're not just talkin' smooth

Well you've proven your charm is a crime

Oh and ooooh why don't you see

The harm in relying on this disguise

You're losing me with every little wink of the eye

The end of my rope is slipping out of my hold

So if you're clever you'd better do some damage control

I don't know why but it seems

You've made a game of making a fool outta me

And I did not sign up to be your tongue-in-cheek, hey oh yeah

I don't mean to presume that you don't love me like you say you do

But you're gonna have to prove that you're true

And you're not just talkin' smooth

Oh, can you prove you're not just talkin' smooth
