Talk

(album: Widescreen - 1974)

When she said, "I don't really want to know you
All I wanna do is show you"
Why did I begin to talk?

When I said, "Tell me do you like linguine?
Have you seen the new Fellini?"
That's when she began to walk

Well, if there's smoke in her eyes
You would think that I'd get wise
But I can't let my love do the speaking

Talk
All I do is talk
Can I say the word that my heart is sure of?
Oh talk
I'm up to here with talk
Every sound you heard held me back from your...

This is it-now is when I oughta hold her
But I wait, you're growing older
Even though she's in my reach

So we sit looking at the television
Listening to a politician
Making us a helpless speech

And it's soon close to dawn
And my baby starts to yawn
So I say goodbye in the lobby

Talk
All I do is talk
Can I say the word that my heart is sure of?
Oh talk
I'm up to here with talk
Every sound you heard held me back from your love

Oh talk
All I do is talk
Can I say the word that my heart is sure of?
