verse
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
ooh we’ve been through this so many times

i always end up complaining
when i’ve got myself to blame

you’re just a dead giveaway dead giveaway
girl you can’t deny it even though you try oh oh

but this time i won’t be denied
’cause you’re a dead giveaway hey
