Wise To You                                                  © L. Dunn ‘96

 

 

                        Verse               What’s this I hear, seems like the talk of the town

                                                Stories you’ve been tellin’ have been getting around

                                                Have I heard the worst of it yet

                                                Why make me sorry that we ever met

                                   

                        Chorus             I … I got wise to you            

I … I got wise to you

                                                I was your lover but I’ll never ever be your fool

 

                        Verse               On so many nights you’d declared your undiein’ love

                                                Now with the stories you’re tellin’ why it just doesn’t add up

                                                I judged you wrong I never thought I’d see

                                                That there’d come a day you would turn on me

 

                        Chorus             I … I got wise to you            

I … I got wise to you

                                                I was your lover but I’ll never ever be your fool

 

                                                Solo

 

                        Bridge             Do me a favor … if you would

                                                If you have to talk about me then make it good

                                                But if the only thing you … find is fault

                                                Please don’t say a word at all

 

                                                Chorus

 

                        Verse               Now our affair’s finally come to an end

                                                If I wonder what went wrong I’ll know where to begin

                                                I’ll just head on down to the corner bar and have myself a beer

                                                And hear your latest stories from everybody there

 

                                                Chorus

 

                                                Solos

 

                        Verse               My business is mine alone

                                                Not for everybody else to know

                                                So when I hear it … on the street

                                                I know somebody’s talkin’ and it hasn’t been me
