"Away With It"

Darling don't be surprised,
I've known for some time.
I don't really care any more
I still kind of mind,
I can't quite decide
just what you think all this is for.

'Cause you're cute,
and you're slick
and it all kind of fits
with the image I've bought,
and you've sold.

Overall it's amusing
and true, my dear
but don't swallow it whole

Just 'cause you got away with it
Don’t think that you’ll get away with it
'Cause you got a way
A way of letting it show
Wherever you just got slick
That’s just the place where you’re going to slip
Yeah you got a way
A way of letting me know...

...like a while ago.

I’m trusting and innocent as you please
I hardly suspect three parts
of the three-point-one-four
you’ve been keeping from me,
circling back to start.

And it’s good
when your bad,
you can pull it off sweet
It’s part of what’s best
in you.

But don’t flatter yourself
the illusion’s complete
’til we’re seeing it through

Just ’cause you got away with it
Don’t think that you’ll get away with it
’Cause you got a way
A way of letting it show
Wherever you just got slick
That’s just the place where you’re going to slip
Yeah you got a way
A way of letting me know...

...like a while ago
