Thinking What to Say

A whole other level when ya boogie with the devil now ya fearing it
Called a new song in the middle wrong are ya hearing it
Crying out loud in the center of a crowd how ya scaring it
Little black dress, and your hair still a mess how ya wearing it

He been there all alone when you finally got home
Waiting around all day thinking what to say
Throw your desire in the fire when you set it
Or you gonna regret it
Thinking what to say

What you gonna bring when you try to turn a fling to forever more
Ain’t a little bitty thing when you tarnish the ring that you never wore
Come home crying try to start a fight lying what it ever for?
Turning your back and ya hit the road jack even slam a door

And he been there alone when you finally got home
Waiting around all day
Thinking what to say

Ever think through what would happen to you when he let ya know
Ya say he to blame when he say it’s a shame had to let ya go
And he can’t go back ain’t cutting you slack and your man say,”Whoa!”
I got a sweet new gal run back to your pal that ya left me fo.

What your man gonna say when you got home… and he been all alone
Throw your desire in the fire when you set it — or ya regret it
Thinking what to say

How you gonna sell him how ya try to tell him when ya said it
Think it alright he ain’t sleeping at night when he read it
There’a a price you pay for walking away when ya led it
Ya ripped his heart really tore it apart and you bled it

And he been there alone when you finally got home
Waiting around all day
Thinking what to say

Throw your desire in the fire when you set it — Or ya gonna regret it
Thinking what to say

Whole other level when ya boogie with the devil now ya fearing it
Call a new song in the middle wrong are ya hearing it
Crying out loud in the center of a crowd how ya scaring it
Little black dress, and your hair still a mess how ya wearing it

He be there alone when you finally got home
Waiting around all day
Thinking what to say
