[Verse 1]
You tell me that you're going to leave me alone
I gotta find a way to make you stay home
You ask me to explain
And if my feelings are the same

[Chorus]
Yeah, quit beatin' 'round the
Quit beatin' 'round the
Quit beatin' 'round the bush

[Verse 2]
I know now that I haven't got too much time
I gotta tell you exactly what's on my mind
You say I've waited too long
Don't matter-uh now what is wrong

[Chorus]
Yeah, quit beatin' 'round the
Quit beatin' 'round the
Quit beatin' 'round the bush

[Bridge]
All I have ever wanted was to hold you in my arms and not explain my love for you
Can't you read inside my eyes the love I have that will remain forever? Yeah
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Is that what you wanted to know
And that I've told you "Please don't go"?

[Chorus]
Oh, quit beatin' 'round the
Quit beatin' 'round the
Quit beatin' 'round the bush
Yeah, quit beatin' 'round the
Quit beatin' 'round the
Quit beatin' 'round the bush
