The Way That It Shows Lyrics - Singles - Richard Thompson

You're going to give yourself away 

One of these nights 

Your gaze of compassion 

Just a little too right 

Your hug of encouragement 

A little too tight 

ANd then he'll know 

It's the little things betray 

You're going to give yourself away 

To some Casanova 

On the spills and stains 

Of a backstage sofa 

He'll catch you yawning 

With one leg over 

And there's the sin 

Must be the enemy within 

CHORUS 

That's the way that it shows 

A slip of the tongue 

A squeeze of the hand 

That's the way that it shows 

There's glycerine in the tear 

Rouge in the blush 

Your artful stammer 

A little too rushed 

All passion to the eye 

All cold to the touch 

And then he'll guess 

Your mind has drifted in the kiss 

There's a chink in your armour 

A crack in your defenses 

When your iron will 

Gives way to your senses 

Your whispered sweet nothings 

All sound like expenses 

And that's enough 

He won't believe your words of love 

CHORUS
