Thinking Out Loud

(album: Mouth To Mouth - 1987)

It's a shame the way
You've locked yourself away
You used to wanna work
Used to wanna go out and play
Now I don't want to be unkind
I don't want to interfere

I'm just thinking out loud
Just as well you can't hear
(Lock yourself away)
Thinking out loud
(Lock yourself away)
Thinking out loud
(Lock yourself away)
Thinking out loud
(Lock yourself away)

Well, it's such a waste
The way you just sit around
Joking 'bout senility
And slamming on the pounds
Oh, I'm afraid I don't compris
To me it just seems queer

But I'm just thinking out loud
Just as well you're not here
(Lock yourself away)
Thinking out loud
(Lock yourself away)
Thinking out loud
(Lock yourself away)
Thinking out loud
(Lock yourself away)

Oh, I don't want to be unkind
I don't want to interfere
I'm just thinking out loud
Just as well you can't hear
(Lock yourself away)
Thinking out loud
(Lock yourself away)

Now don't you let that
Man take care of you
You'll become his possession
If you do
Don't fill your freezer
On the phone
Fill your head with fear

And I'm just thinking out loud
Just as well you can't hear
(Lock yourself away)
Thinking out loud
(Lock yourself away)
Thinking out loud
(Lock yourself away)
Thinking out loud
(Lock yourself away)
Thinking out loud
(Lock yourself away)
Thinking out loud
(Lock yourself away)
Thinking out loud
(Lock yourself away)
Thinking out loud
(Lock yourself away)
Oh, woah
(Lock yourself away)
(Lock yourself away)
(Lock yourself away)
(Lock yourself away)
