Song Lyrics

Lip Service
By: Jimmy Buffett, Michael Utley
1981
For anyone who loves Creole Cookin` and New Orleans music
Talk-a, talk-a, talk until your jaws turn blue
But you never really tell me what you`re gonna do
Seem to keep it all locked up inside
I can`t help but start to thinkin`
You`ve got somethin` to hide
Why the pain
What`s your game
You`re drivin` this boy insane
Oooh what a voodoo, nobody can do like you do

Your bitchin` and your cryin` finally got to me
So I thought I`d take you baby on a shoppin` spree
You bought a space age watch and an antique hat
Hell now it`s digital this and digital that
What a pain
Silly games
Still drivin` your man insane
Oooh what a voodoo, nobody can do like you do

Chorus:
Oh darlin` oh darlin`
All I ever get is lip service from you
Oh darlin` oh darlin`, I`m through
`Cause all I ever get is lip service from you

(instrumental)

So listen to me baby
You got to change your ways
Or I`m off to Pascagoula in a few more days
I`ll leave you and your poodle and all the mess he makes
Find some other fool to man your shovel and your rake
No more pain
End of game
You`re drivin` yourself insane
Ooh what a voodoo, nobody can do like you do

Chorus:
Oh darlin` oh darlin`
All I ever get is lip service from you
Oh darlin` oh darlin`, I`m through
`Cause all I ever get is lip service from you

Lip service from you (lip service)
Lip service from you-hoo
Lip service from you (lip service)
Lip service from you-hoo
Lip service from you (lip service)
Lip service from you-hoo
