I Wanna Talk To You

(album: Where I'm Coming From - 1971)

M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m
Lord, Lordy, Lordy
Standing here on my own side
Waiting Fo' the floor
Your world's moving fast
But still ends up a bore
Come on give me a little room na
Do you have to take it all
Yeah that's the way it is I guess
Then you're born with nothing at all

Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh
I wanna talk to you
I wanna talk to you
Hey boy don't feel my world's untrue
Yeah, I wanna talk to you
My world can be true
I wanna talk to you

Pick up my life at the table
Read about the way I could be
But I know I just ain't able
So I read about the real me
Who can I blame
For the way I am
I ain't never had one soul to help me
So I don't give a.......

Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh
Watch that boy, watch that
I heard you thinking
I wanna talk to you
I wanna talk to you
Don't feel my world's untrue
Yeah, boy I wanna talk to you
My world can be true
But you gotta find out what to do
I wanna talk to you sonny beau

Gotta woman that lov' me
Feed me beans ev'ry night
Twelve babies look up at me
Wid Big grey hungry eyes
Oh but I just can't complain
You see ya, said I ain't allowed
Oh but pretty soon will come a change
When I gain the biggest mouth

Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh
I wanna talk to you
I wanna talk to you
Don't feel my world's untrue
Yeah boy , I wanna talk to you
My world can be true
I'm a show you what to do
I wanna talk to you
