Figure Of Speech — текст песни (Joan Armatrading)

He`ll teach you to wait by the phone
And then won`t call
Throw your life in a turmoil
And when you fall
Just when you need him most
He won`t see you
Don`t let him
Don`t let him
Don`t let him get you down

When your dreams get shattered
Down where nothing matters
But if he won`t have you
You can bet your life
Bet your life
It`s not the end
And if he can`t see
What a friend you are
That`s his loss
It`s not the end

Don`t let him
Don`t let him
Don`t let him get you down

Watch his lips while he speaks
And read his eyes
It`s a figure of speech
So don`t be surprised
When he talks of love
But his deeds can break you
Don`t let him
Don`t let him
Don`t let him get you down
