Call a Spade a Spade
Turnpike Troubadours

You’ve got a ring

You’ve got a new last name

You got the same old eyes

They’re the same all the same

And you’ve got a heart

Big enough to kill us all

But when you fall

Well damn you fall


Well you’ve got a way

And you’ve got away with it before

And you’ve got a look

That could drop me dead here on the floor

And you’ve got a touch

It’s the sweetest one I know

I gotta go, yeah I gotta go


CHORUS

Oh and everything’s so easy up until its complicated

Until we wake with our heads shakin at the choices we have made

Well to call the whole thing stupid seems so sorely understated

Oh but can we dance a little longer, can we call a spade a spade


Well you gotta try

Awful hard to keep ahead

You got a man (I’ve got a man)

Oh and I’ve been actin like a kid

And you’ve got more


Than a tattoo up your sleeve

It’s time to leave (It’s time to leave)

It’s time to leave


CHORUS

Oh and everything’s so easy up until its complicated

Until we wake with our heads shakin at the choices we have made

Well to call the whole thing stupid seems so sorely understated

Oh but can we dance a little longer, can we call a spade a spade


Well I’ve gotta quit

Yeah darlin I guess do too

Well I’ll take a hint (Oh take a hint)

It’s our time we get a clue

And darlin please (Oh please)

Wells could you stop sayin love

Oh this ain’t love (No this ain’t love)

Good God above


CHORUS

Oh and everything’s so easy up until its complicated

Until we wake with our heads shakin at the choices we have made

Well to call the whole thing stupid seems so sorely understated

Oh but can we dance a little longer, can we call a spade a spade

Can we dance a little longer, can we call a spade a spade
