I won’t waste your time
Beating 'round the bush like an idiom
On a wild goose chase leaving bread crumbs
Just enough to hold in your hand

I’m cutting to the chase
Picking up the pace
My baby says I’m dragging my feet too much
She drives a hard bargain with a woman’s touch
She put me in my place
Make me do the best I can

Don’t go walking on eggshells
Dancing ‘round the subject like a disco
Cut me into pieces with an insult
Just enough to hold in your hand

Cutting to the chase
Picking up the pace
My baby says I’m dragging my feet too much
She drives a hard bargain with a woman’s touch
She put me in my place
I’m doing the best I can

Cutting to the chase
Picking up the pace
My baby says I’m dragging my feet too much
She drives a hard bargain with a woman’s touch
She put me in my place
Make me do the best I can
