Calculated Look
She walked in late like she owned the place Looked across the
room with that innocent face
Caught me looking, gave a little smile
Then pretended she ain't seen me in a while I said,
"Hey, how you been?"
She said, "Fine, and you?"
I said, "Better now"
She said, "Boy, that's nothing new"
She says she's not interested Then asks me where I've been
Says she's only passing through But she's standing here again
She knows exactly what she's doing
Every little look, every little move
Says she doesn't want nobody
But she's looking at me like she do She knows exactly what
she's doing Got me smiling like a fool
I ain't saying that I love her But she knows exactly what
she's doing
She said, "You always talk this much?"
I said, "Only when somebody's worth the trouble"
She rolled her eyes,
but she laughed at that Then moved a little closer like she
wanted something back
Phone lit up, she turned it down
Said, "I should probably leave this town"
I said, "Well, don't let me keep you here"
She said, "You really think I'd disappear?"
Now the room is getting quieter
And the jokes are running thin
She looks at me a second longer And I forget where to
begin
She knows exactly what she's doing
Every little look, every little move
Says she doesn't want nobody
But she's looking at me like she do She knows exactly what
she's doing Got me smiling like a fool
I ain't saying that I love her But she knows exactly what
she's doing
Truth is, I don't do this often
Don't usually lose my words
But something 'bout the way she's smiling
Makes the whole damn room a blur
Then she said, "You gonna ask me?"
I said, "Ask you what?"
She said, "Don't play stupid"
I said, "Girl, you talk too much"
She knows exactly what she's doing
Every little look, every little move
Says she doesn't want nobody But she's looking at me like she
do She knows exactly what she's doing Got me smiling like a
fool
I ain't saying that I love her But she knows exactly what
she's doing
She said, "So,
dinner Friday?"
I said,
"Thought you'd never ask."
