Orleans - Beatin’ Around the Bush lyrics

Girl, this may sound funny
'Cause we've been friends for so long
But lately, I've been feeling something
Coming on real strong
Oh,  you've been looking better to me
Than you ever have before
We should get together
Turn our friendship into more

Oh, girl, do you remember
How it was when we were kids?
The secrets shared together
And the crazy things we did
Well, you've become a beautiful woman
I've grown up to be a man
I can't keep this secret
And I know you understand
That it's about time we both
Stop beatin' around the bush
It's such a crime to waste
Time beatin' around the bush
I spent days and weeks, months and years
Just waiting for your touch
And it's about time we both
Stop beatin' around the bush

Well, we've known each other
Like sister and brother
We've touched in almost every single
Way with one another we've worked together
We've played together
Love's the only thing we
Haven't made together yeah, yeah

Now you know my feelings
And I can see how you feel too
My heart's out in the open
With just one thing left to do
Oh, girl, it's clear, the time is here
To end this waiting game
For us to let this chance go by
Would be a crying shame

And it's about time we both
Stop beatin' around the bush
(This is the right time)
It's such a crime to waste
Time beatin' around the bush
(Don't wanna waste time)
I spent days and weeks, months and years
(I've been waiting for your touch)
Just waiting for your touch
(I've been waiting)
It's about time we both stop
Beatin' around the bush
Gotta stop beatin' around the bush oh yeah
Stop beatin' around the bush
Oh, I'm so hungry for your touch
'Cause I want your love so much
I can almost taste it listen to me
Come on, girl, now
