sparks
lady is lingering
Every word pronounced distinctly, slowly There are no contractions, nothing slurred Unprepared you watch in rank amazement As she lights her cigarette and stirs Every motion is complete, no editing of anything Encouraging, encouraging, and not the Customary bill of fare  Can't you see the lady is lingering (lingering) This lady's lingering, and you cannot believe the reason why  Every sip is of the smallest quantity That still denotes apparent thirst Every question is a means to draw long answers Play the fool, it doesn't hurt Splitting, splitting headache coming  Get up early in the morning Where are the funny phrases  That are always followed by goodbye  [Chorus: ]  Is it now all up to you, do you now Guide the evening, or do you await A further signal, a look, a touch, a sigh  [Chorus: ]  Risky business, all this waiting, wondering A risky business, all this waiting, wondering A risky business, all this waiting, wondering A risky business, all this waiting, wondering  [Chorus: ]
