Where There's Smoke There's Fire Lyrics

Johnnie Taylor Where There's Smoke There's Fire

Why do people whisper when they see me passing by?
It can't be because I'm clean, baby
Sunday it's the only day I wear a shirt and tie
I hear the word fool, fool but they won't tell me why
Maybe you know what they're talking about
Because where there's smoke there's fire

I worked eight hard hours, baby, you know that
And after that I bring it all home, I leave you're looking pretty, baby
With plenty time to do wrong, oh yeah
You take all day to go shopping, tell me what did you buy?
I only get five minutes of loving, baby
You know what, where there is smoke there is fire

I called this morning to tell you, to tell you, to tell you I love you
And the phone rang twenty five times
I know you're gonna [Incomprehensible] baby
But you say you was hanging clothes on the line
Listen once your cup was running over but now there's just a drought
My love is still strong, baby when did your love stop?

Where there's smoke there's fire
Too many excuses mean you told a lie, oh yes, you do now, baby
I don't believe you love me like you used to love me, oh no
Because I can see the smoke and the old folks told me
There's fire where there's smoke, I believe
I know, I know, baby, where there's smoke there's fire
