Can You Tell

Gauthier, Maloney, Pogue, von Hoffman
You know you really want it, but you're scared to let her know
You've tried so hard to hide it, and it's starting to show
You're wondering how to tell her, and paralyzed by fear
And when you finally come to me it's with shame, and bitter tears
Can you tell by the way I'm holding you (Can't you tell by the way I
look at you?)
That it's gonna be okay? (Can't you tell by the way I act?)
No one knows, no one needs to know (That all I really want is you)
I'll never push you away (To hold me and keep me safe)
You've got a wife who'll bat her eyes and love you oh so sweet
But need a bitch like me to treat you like a piece of meat
Oh baby let me do you rough, you're begging to be had
I'll tie you up and take you down, I know that you've been bad
Can you tell by the way I bind your wrists (Can't you tell by the
way I look at you?)
Surrender is a precious jewel (Can't you tell by the way I act?)
No one knows, no one needs to know (That all I really want is you)
I'll never push you away (To hold me and keep me safe)
You're kissing me real tender baby, sweeter than before
I order you down on your knees, my pretty little whore
Your breath is coming hot and fast, you gasp, you moan, you plead
I turn you over hard and then I give you what you need
I can tell by the way your eyes meet mine (Can't you tell by the way I
look at you?)
That now you need me more (Can't you tell by the way I act?)
No one knows, no one needs to know (That all I really want is you)
Don't forget your ring's by the door (To hold me and keep me safe)
