Something Up My Sleeve - Suzy Bogguss, Billy Dean

I can’t go on, the feelin’s gone, I don’t know where

I reach down deep inside of my heart, there’s nothing there

I know I can’t stay with him, still I don’t want to leave

I wish I had something up my sleeve

(Billy)

I can’t give in, and I can’t win 'cause she won’t fight

She tells me there’s nothing wrong but nothing’s right

No matter what I offer, it’s never what she needs

I wish I had something up my sleeve

(Both)

I can’t pretend

(She's sorry, I can tell)

I wish I could

(I know the feeling well)

It’s just no good

It looks like the spell is broken

My magic words

(It's not working anymore)

My slight of hand

(We've been through it all before)

My song and dance

If I can make it through the door, it’s over

I can’t pretend

(She's sorry, I can tell)

I wish I could

(I know the feeling well)

It’s just no good

It looks like the spell is broken

My magic words

(It's not working anymore)

My slight of hand

(We've been through it all before)

My song and dance

If I can make it through the door, it’s over

Over

I wish I had the power to make us both believe

I wish I had something up my sleeve

I wish I had something up my sleeve…
