slippin' up, slippin' around

Singer:houston, thelma

i don't need nobody to tell me

what i already know to be fact

'cause i've had some strong suspicions

but i never caught you in the act

you make me wonder what you think you're doin'

'cause you're not fooling me

and honey

you could use some lessons on

how to be discrete

'cause you've been slipping up

slipping around

giving yourself away

you've been slipping up

slipping around

when you've been slipping out to play

so you can blame yourself

when you hang yourself

it's the price you gotta pay

for slipping up

slipping around

giving yourself away

giving yourself away

baby

you've been slipping up

oh

i guess you think i'm blind

or the biggest fool there ever was

i don't know why this seems funny

but somehow

it just does

'cause the way you're having your fest

shows a lack of thought

you're leaving a trail behind you

you're just playing to be caught

slipping up

slipping around

giving yourself away

you've been slipping up

slipping around

when you've been slipping out to play

so you can blame yourself

when you hang yourself

it's the price you're gonna pay

for slipping up

slipping around

giving yourself away

hey babe

mmhm. you can blame yourself

when you hang yourself

it's the price you're gonna pay

for slipping up

slipping around

giving yourself away

you've been slipping up

baby

i caught you slipping around town

giving yourself away

you leave a trail behind you

baby

giving yourself away
