Body Language Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I think I'm in trouble
I can't see the end
I call you my lover, you call me your friend, and
I'm keeping it secret, yeah, even from you
I call you my lover
Oh, what can I do?
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been lonely, baby
I, I've been hangin' on the line (Been hangin' on the line)
And if you love me, baby
Don't, don't, don't hang up this time
Ooh
[Chorus]
Body language will do the trick
If you stay with me tonight, then we'll talk it over
That's the danger with missing it
I just think we're overthinking it, I think we're overthinking it
[Verse 2]
This could be perfect, that we could be free
To do what we wanted, you do it to me
We only just started, don't say it's the end
So call me your lover, don't call me your friend
I think I'm in trouble
I can't see the end
I call you my lover, you call me your friend, and
I'm keeping it secret, yeah, even from you
I call you my lover
Oh, what can I do?
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been lonely, baby
I, I've been hangin' on the line (Been hangin' on the line)
And if you love me, baby
Don't, don't, don't hang up this time
Ooh
[Chorus]
Body language will do the trick
If you stay with me tonight, then we'll talk it over
That's the danger with missing it
I just think we're overthinking it, I think we're overthinking it
[Verse 2]
This could be perfect, that we could be free
To do what we wanted, you do it to me
We only just started, don't say it's the end
So call me your lover, don't call me your friend
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been lonely, baby
I, I've been hangin' on the line (Been hangin' on the line)
And if you love me, baby
Don't, don't, don't hang up this time
'Cause you know
[Chorus]
Body language will do the trick
If you stay with me tonight, then we'll talk it over
That's the danger with missing it
I just think we're overthinking it, I think we're overthinking it
Body language will do the trick
If you stay with me tonight, then we'll talk it over
That's the danger with missing it
I just think we're overthinking it, don't think it over
[Bridge]
I just think we're overthinking it
Don't think it over
I just think we're overthinking it
Don't think it over
I just think we're overthinking it
Don't think it over
I just think we're overthinking it
Don't think it over
I've been lonely, baby
I, I've been hangin' on the line (Been hangin' on the line)
And if you love me, baby
Don't, don't, don't hang up this time
'Cause you know
[Chorus]
Body language will do the trick
If you stay with me tonight, then we'll talk it over
That's the danger with missing it
I just think we're overthinking it, I think we're overthinking it
Body language will do the trick
If you stay with me tonight, then we'll talk it over
That's the danger with missing it
I just think we're overthinking it, don't think it over
[Bridge]
I just think we're overthinking it
Don't think it over
I just think we're overthinking it
Don't think it over
I just think we're overthinking it
Don't think it over
I just think we're overthinking it
Don't think it over
[Chorus]
Body language will do the trick
If you stay with me tonight, then we'll talk it over
That's the danger with missing it
I just think we're overthinking it
I think we're overthinking it
Body language will do the trick
If you stay with me tonight, then we'll talk it over
That's the danger with missing it
I just think we're overthinking it
I think we're overthinking it
