[00:15.69]Every word pronounced distinctly, slowly [00:19.62]There are no contractions, nothing slurred [00:24.57]Unprepared you watch in rank amazement [00:28.47]As she lights her cigarette and stirs [00:33.06]Every motion is complete, no editing of anything [00:37.47]Encouraging, encouraging, and not the customary bill of fare [00:42.87]Can't you see the lady is lingering (lingering) [00:50.34]This lady's lingering, and you cannot believe the reason why [00:58.95]Every sip is of the smallest quantity [01:03.15]That still denotes apparent thirst [01:07.74]Every question is a means to draw long answers [01:12.15]Play the fool, it doesn't hurt [01:16.23]Splitting, splitting headache coming [01:18.57]Get up early in the morning [01:20.73]Where are the funny phrases [01:22.92]That are always followed by goodbye [Chorus] [01:42.15]Is it now all up to you, do you now guide the evening, or do you await a further signal, a look, a touch, a sigh [Chorus] [02:21.60]Risky business, all this waiting, wondering [02:25.95]A risky business, all this waiting, wondering [02:30.24]A risky business, all this waiting, wondering [02:34.53]A risky business, all this waiting, wondering [Chorus ]
