Up Your Sleeve
Written by: Doug Scharley
Lyrics © D. R. Scharley Consulting Inc.
It's the time
To play the truth
I know for you that it's like pulling a tooth
But
Hear me out
You'll be surprised
I went right into this with my opened eyes
So
Here were are
Now play your cards
It's you and me without our bodyguards
So here it is my baby
Are you really my lady?
(Chorus)
Whatcha got
Up your sleeve?
It's too devious for me to believe
But
It's alright
Been here before
It's the point where I show you the door
Ya
Whatcha got
Up your sleeve?
Like your previous attempt to deceive
Well
Fool me once
But not again
I'm finally ready to cut through the chain
No more lies
That ship has sailed
I'm a hammer and you have been nailed
Ya
Subterfuge
No longer works
You're like turpentine without the perks
So
The jig is up
Get out of town
It's clear for all to see that you get around
I thought you were my baby
But all you were was shady
(Chorus)
Whatcha got
Up your sleeve?
It's too devious for me to believe
But
It's alright
Been here before
It's the point where I show you the door
Ya
Whatcha got
Up your sleeve?
Like your previous attempt to deceive
Well
Fool me once
But not again
I'm finally ready to cut through the chain
It's the time
To play the truth
I know for you that it's like pulling a tooth
But
Hear me out
You'll be surprised
I went right into this with my opened eyes
So
Here were are
Now play your cards
It's you and me without our bodyguards
So here it is my baby
Are you really my lady?
(Chorus)
Whatcha got
Up your sleeve?
It's too devious for me to believe
But
It's alright
Been here before
It's the point where I show you the door
Ya
Whatcha got
Up your sleeve?
Like your previous attempt to deceive
Well
Fool me once
But not again
I'm finally ready to cut through the chain
No more lies
