Watch Your Tongue - Tina Dickow, Sheriff

You sit by the window

Watching the wind blow his childish affection

In every direction

He screams when you whisper

Laughs when you cry

But this voice inside you

Keeps you from asking him why

You wanna see how far he’ll take it

Shine as you come to heel

You wanna see how long you can fake it

Knowing you’d better

Watch your tongue now girl

Watch your tongue now girl

Watch your tongue now girl

I bet you’d look real pretty

If you’d lay off the self-pity

Watch your tongue now girl

I like to disturb you

I like to dig into your meaningless phrases

Your various faces

I love to talk dirty

I love to make fun

But it’s hard when I’m staring into the barrel of your gun

I wanna see how far I can make it

Shine as I come to heel

I wanna be someone, I won’t fake it

And don’t you tell me

Watch your tongue now girl

Watch your tongue now girl

Watch your tongue now girl

I bet you’d look real pretty

If you’d stop trying to be witty

Watch your tongue now girl

And let the boys…

I can’t keep quiet…
