Just a twist of the wrist and my ring leaves your finger
It touches the table then falls to the floor
And the look in your eye tells me this time it's over
A twist of the wrist and you're not mine anymore

With a twist of the wrist you're opening the door now
I stand like a statute and try not to cry
I whisper don't leave me but you don't seem to hear me
With a twist of the wrist you're waving goodbye

[ guitar ]
Just a twist of the wrist and the key starts your car now
You haven't even come back for one final kiss
It's almost like sayin' you never even loved me
For I've meant no more than a twist of the wrist

With a twist of the wrist you turn from the driveway
I stand like a statute try not to cry
I whisper don't leave me but you don't seem to hear me
With a twist of the wrist you're waving goodbye
