Dirty Word - The Vettes

On the tip of the tip of my tongue

Got a bad taste in my mouth

On the tip of the tip of my tongue

But I just can’t spit it out

What are we a weak parody

On my own reality show?

Too afraid pushing me away

Now you’re letting me go, letting me

You make love a dirty word

A dirty word, you’re never gonna get it

You make love a dirty word

A dirty word, make me wanna bite your tongue

You lie, you lie in the bed you made

All by, by yourself again

Don’t speak, don’t speak

Don’t say anything

To you it’s just a dirty word but it’s real to me

Give a little then you take it away

Just enough to keep me around

Give a little then you take it away

Like a shotgun coming out of your mouth

You’re so cold you’re making me numb

You’re so cold we’re over and done

Get it straight I’m not gonna wait

So I’m letting you go, letting you go

You make love a dirty word

A dirty word, you’re never gonna get it

You make love a dirty word

A dirty word, make me wanna bite your tongue

You lie, you lie in the bed you made

All by, by yourself again

Don’t speak, don’t speak

Don’t say anything

To you it’s just a dirty word but it’s real to me

Should have known this would end up tragic

Couldn’t see through the noise and static

Is it love or only habit?

oh.

oh.

oh

Can you give me one reason

Why we should keep repeating

The same old words when they mean nothing, nothing?

You make love a dirty word

A dirty word, you’re never gonna get it

You make love a dirty word

A dirty word, make me wanna bite your tongue

You lie, you lie in the bed you made

All by, by yourself again

Don’t speak, don’t speak

Don’t say anything

To you it’s just a dirty word but it’s real to me
