"I'm Not Talking"
EP version
I'm not talking,Well that's what I got to say.I used to think I knew it,Man I sure outgrew it.Things like idle chatter,Ain't the things that matter,That's one thing I can do without.
I'm not talking,Well that's what I got to say.Things I say at midnight,I ain't gonna say in daylight.I reached the final conclusion,And all this persecution,Don't call me, baby, I'll call you.
I'm not talking,Well that's what I got to say.Things I say at midnight,I ain't gonna say in daylight.I reached the final conclusion,And all this persecution,That's one thing I can do without.
I'm not talking,Well that's what I got to say.If I said things were awful,It might just be unlawful.If I said things were splendid,You might just be offended.That's one thing I can do without.
