Johnnie Taylor - Where There's Smoke There's Fire lyrics

rate me

Why do people whisper when they see me passing by?

It can't be because I'm clean, baby

Sunday it's the only day I wear a shirt and tie

I hear the word fool, fool but they won't tell me why

Maybe you know what they're talking about

Because where there's smoke there's fire

I worked eight hard hours, baby, you know that

And after that I bring it all home, I leave you're looking pretty, baby

With plenty time to do wrong, oh yeah

You take all day to go shopping, tell me what did you buy?

I only get five minutes of loving, baby

You know what, where there is smoke there is fire

I called this morning to tell you, to tell you, to tell you I love you

And the phone rang twenty five times

I know you're gonna [Incomprehensible] baby

But you say you was hanging clothes on the line

Listen once your cup was running over but now there's just a drought

My love is still strong, baby when did your love stop?

Where there's smoke there's fire

Too many excuses mean you told a lie, oh yes, you do now, baby

I don't believe you love me like you used to love me, oh no

Because I can see the smoke and the old folks told me

There's fire where there's smoke, I believe

I know, I know, baby, where there's smoke there's fire
