Yeah, I can tell because it's plain to see
I can tell the way you look at me
The way you smile and hold my hand
Yeah, pretty baby, I can understand

Oh, I can tell, yeah, I can tell
I know you don't love me no more

Gonna tell your Mama and tell your Papa too
Just what more can a man do
You been runnin' up and down with Charlie Brown
Yeah, pretty baby, you done put me down

Oh, I can tell, yeah, I can tell
I know you don't love me no more, no more

(Instrumental Break)

Yeahhhhh, gonna tell your Mama and tell your Papa too
Just what more can a man do
You been runnin' up and down with Joey Brown
Yeah, pretty baby, you done put me down

Oh, I can tell, yeah, I can tell
I know you don't love me no more

I'm gonna tell your Mama and tell your Papa too
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna tell you don't love me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah............FADE
