Lyrics Rupert Holmes – Talk
Text:
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?
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 speakin’
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?
