(M. Dare/J. Gallo/L. Sylvers III)

How long you gonna carry on
This one on one charade?
Let's don't and then say we did
That's the game you like to play

Oo, we've been through this so many times
The end result's always the same
I always end up complaining
When I've got myself to blame

You're just a dead giveaway, yeah
You'd think I'd learn to handle this by now
You're just a dead giveaway

Girl, you can't deny it
Even though you try, oh oh
You keep trying to hide it
Baby, we know why

I get a call about 2 a.m.
Saying you don't wanna be alone
I'm tired and half asleep
But emotions are just a little too strong

Oo, I figured that I'd call your bluff
'Cause you want me to come on by
Girl, you know it's your love I've always wanted
But this time I won't be denied

'Cause you're a dead giveaway, hey
You want me like I want you
You're just a dead giveaway, yeah

You're scared but you won't admit it
Even though you try, oh
But tonight you're committed
Baby, we know why

'Cause you're just a dead giveaway

A dead giveaway

You're not that naive, girl
I'm finding out, oo oh
Is playing deceiver
What you're all about?

Dead giveaway
Dead giveaway

Girl, you can't deny it
Even though you try, oo oh, baby
You keep trying to hide it
Baby, we know why

Well, now that you're serious
It's time to take off that disguise
You want more that mental stimulation
I can see it in your eyes

Oo, for years I've been your analyst
I've been as patient as I've been kind
For years you've played off believing
That I loved you for only your mind

You're just a dead giveaway
Girl, you want me like I want you
Dead giveaway

You've been holding back for too long
You're a dead giveaway

You're scared but you won't admit it
Even though you try, oo oh
But tonight you are committed
Baby, we know why

'Cause you're a dead giveaway
I can tell by the look in your eyes
A dead giveaway

I'm finding out
What you're all about?

You're just a dead giveaway
