"Something Up My Sleeve" lyrics

"Something Up My Sleeve"
(duet with Billy Dean)

I can't go on, the feelin's gone, I don't know where
I reach down deep inside of my heart, there's nothing there
I know I can't stay with him, still I don't want to leave
I wish I had something up my sleeve

I can't give in, and I can't win 'cause she won't fight
She tells me there's nothing wrong but nothing's right
No matter what I offer, it's never what she needs
I wish I had something up my sleeve

I can't pretend
(She's sorry, I can tell)
I wish I could
(I know the feeling well)
It's just no good
It looks like the spell is broken

My magic words
(It's not working anymore)
My slight of hand
(We've been through it all before)
My song and dance
If I can make it through the door, it's over

I can't pretend
(She's sorry, I can tell)
I wish I could
(I know the feeling well)
It's just no good
It looks like the spell is broken

My magic words
(It's not working anymore)
My slight of hand
(We've been through it all before)
My song and dance
If I can make it through the door, it's over
Over

I wish I had the power to make us both believe
I wish I had something up my sleeve

I wish I had something up my sleeve...
