Denise, Denise,
Gal, what's on your mind?
Denise, Denise,
Gal, what's on your mind?
You've got your eyes closed, babe
But heaven knows that you ain't blind.

Well, I can see you smiling,
But oh your mouth is inside out.
I can see you smiling,
But you're smiling inside out.
Well, I know you're laughin'
But what are you laughin' about?

Well, if you're tryin' to throw me,
Babe, I've already been tossed.
If you're tryin' to throw me,
Babe, I've already been tossed.
You're tryin' to lose me
But babe, I'm already lost.

Well, what are you doing,
Are you flying or have you flipped?
Oh, what are you doing,
Are you flying or have you flipped?
Well, you call my name
And then you say your tongue just slipped.

Denise, Denise,
Are you for sale, or just on the shelf?
Denise, Denise,
Are you for sale, or just on the shelf?
I looked deep in your eyes, babe,
And all I could see was myself.
