BABY I CAN TELL
©Trev Teasdel Cleobury Mortimer September 1966 / 68
I can tell that you are slipping away from me
By the far away look in your eyes
and your superficial sighs.
Chorus
Baby I can tell – yeah
Baby I can tell – yeah
Baby now I see.
Baby now I see.
Baby I can tell – yeah
There’s no use in trying to conceal your guilt
You’re trying to demolish this whole world I’ve built.
Better admit now the beans are spilt.
You’ve turned so crimson,
I’d better call the fire brigade.
Now from my life you intend to fade.
All my happiness will evade.
You jump around like a Kangaroo
You don’t just know what you intend to do.
Better lock you up in the local zoo.
I’m in a state of rejection
I’ve discovered a loose connection
Won’t you open up your eyes
to a wise compromise.
