The Handwritting Is On The Wall

Ann Peebles

Compositor: Earl Randle / Melvin Earl Jones / Robert Earl Jones / Willie Mitchell

Lately, I'm beginning
To see signs
That you got leaving me
On your mind
I get a cold, cold feeling
When I touch you
It's hard to face
But I know the truth, you see

The handwriting is on the wall
Just looked up and read it all
You're getting ready to call it off
The handwriting, the handwriting's on the wall
(The handwriting's on the wall)
The handwriting
Show on the wall

Lately when I want
Make love to you
You say you're too tired
Or some other excuse
I might as well
Stop fooling myself
There just ain't much love
Between us left, you see

The handwriting is on the wall
I just looked up and read it all
You're getting ready to call it off
The handwriting, the handwriting's on the wall
(The handwriting's on the wall)
The handwriting
Show on the wall

The handwriting's on the wall
Final curtain's about to fall
Just ain't no feeling left at all
The handwriting, the handwriting's on the wall
(The handwriting's on the wall)
The handwriting
Show on the wall
The handwriting on the wall
Just looked up and read it all
You're getting ready to call it off
The handwriting, the handwriting's
On the wall

The handwriting's on the wall
Just looked up and read it all
You're getting ready to call it off
The handwriting's on the wall
Just looked up and read it all
You're getting ready to call it off
Handwriting's on the wall
The final curtain's begin to fall
