Suspect My Tears

Do you remember how to say "Please"? You've had your own way for such a long time Your lashes sweep down, I dry your cheek You think I'm powerless when you speak You may have something, I don't deny You look so beautiful when you cry If I seem unconcerned Perhaps it's time you learned I'll cry until you suspect my tears I'll cry until you suspect my tears You're not the only one who can turn it on Where and when you need it Do you remember how bad it felt? Big eyes would fill up Your lip would tremble You want to hurt me but then you melt You always promise to lose control I learned a trick that you used to play I'm tired of you having it your own way With the power to persuade Beginning to cascade I'll cry until you suspect my tears I'll cry until you suspect my tears You're not the only one who can turn it on Where and when you need it If you hear me weeping I may be cheating or just laughing inside If you're suspicious that I'm sly and vicious Here's your chance to decide Two hypocrites collide I'll cry until you suspect my tears I'll cry until you suspect my tears You're not the only one who can turn it on Where and when you need it When you need it I'll cry until you suspect my tears I'll cry until you suspect my tears You're not the only one who can turn it on Where and when you need it When you need it I'll cry until you suspect my tears I'll cry until you suspect my tears I'll cry until you suspect my tears I'll cry until you suspect my tears
