You must be mistaken, it couldn’t have been,
You couldn’t have seen him yesterday
He’s doin’ some deal up in Baltimore now
I hate it when he’s away

You must be mistaken, I’m sure that you are
There’s more than one car with stickers on
And lots of young guys wear corduroy pants
And I’d know if he hadn’t gone

Take that look off your face, (Take that look off your face)
I can see through your smile, (I can see through your smile)
You would love to be right,
I bet you didn’t sleep good last night
Couldn’t wait to bring all of that bad news to my door
Well I’ve got news for you, I knew before

If I’m not mistaken it started last year
I’m not very clear how it began
I noticed the change but I just closed my eyes
As only a woman can

So I didn’t dig deep, (So I didn’t dig deep)
I did not want to know, (I did not want to know)
Well you don’t interfere
When you’re scared of the things you might hear
When you thought, you think I will end this right there and then
Well, my fair weather friend, you’re wrong again

(Take that look off your face), Take that look off your face
(I can see through your smile), I can see through your smile
You would love to be right,
I bet you didn’t sleep good last night
Couldn’t wait to bring all of that bad news to my door
Well I’ve got news for you, I knew befo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ore

(Take that look off your face) 
I can see through your smile, (I can see through your smile)
You would love to be right,
I bet you didn’t sleep good last night
Couldn’t wait to bring all of that bad news to my door
Well I’ve got news for you, I knew befo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ore

(Take that look off your face) 
I can see through your smile, (I can see through your smile)
You would love to be right,
I bet you didn’t sleep good last night
Couldn’t wait to bring all of that bad news to my door
Well I’ve got news for you, I knew befo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ore
