Tell by her movements
A flick of the hand
You know where you stand
What does it mean?
It means a lot
Oh yeah
What does it mean?
Tell me
Tell from a distance
Tell from a glance (It means a lot)
Tell by the way she dance
Leave me be
Call it love
Takes two
What does it... it takes...
If she is shy
If she should blush
That should tell you enough
We'll call it love
Takes two, baby
What does it do for you?
Does the same thing for me
Trial by jury
Trial by judge
Get this thing out of court, let's call it
love
What does it mean?
Call it affection
We call it love
Heaven's above
Takes two
Ain't no illusion, baby
(...) little lie
Don't get too excited, baby
Before the facts
TrackTalk
(T)he song's got a weird structure to it. Everyone was getting off on that. That was all me on that. Waddy's on acoustic. But that effect is all deliberate. The only way to make that song work was to shift it all around and... the more I did, the more confident I felt about doing things like that.
