Jamie Lenman - A Quiet Understanding

You two were friends before we met
- it's not my place to say it
And he seems like an honest guy,
but he looks at you with hungry eyes,
all of the time

the thought has never crossed your mind,
you feel more like a sister
and he has lovers of his own
but they're more like pretty alibis
and he cannot disguise
the things I recognise
in those eyes

oh baby you know what I'm saying.
you don't want it to be true
but you can never know a brother's heart like i do
cos I have been where he is now,
he's awful nice,
but he looks at you with hungry eyes

yes

I wouldn't wish to make it worse by raising heck about it
There is a quiet understanding
That I simply beat him to the prize
But if you must get wise
The answer ever lies in those eyes

Those eyesIt's that look in his eyes
