I think everyone knows someone who just won't shut up when talking to them. I know I do.
lyrics
1st VERSE
Princess says she’s got a date, really gotta go.
A meeting and she can’t be late, nice to see you though.
But I don’t quite recall a word I got out of my mouth.
I said, “Can you stop just long enough, oh baby, to hear me out?” Oh...
CHORUS
You talk, you talk, you talk, you talk and I never get to.
You talk, you talk, you talk, you talk and I---never get through,
I never get through to you... That’s right.
2nd VERSE
Standing in the longest line, trying to get a job
Make it finally to the counter when things started seeming odd.
The lady there would not look up or vary from her script
She said, “Next in line, please move along.” I said, “Lady, listen to this...” Oh...
CHORUS
You talk, you talk, you talk, you talk and I never get to.
You talk, you talk, you talk, you talk and I---never get through,
I never get through to you...
BRIDGE
I don’t know why I bother to speak
Cause I can hear your voice, all the way down on the street.
CHORUS
You talk, you talk, you talk, you talk and I never get to.
You talk, you talk, you talk, you talk and I---never get through,
I never get through to you...
3rd VERSE
Feeling down on my luck, I think I’ll call a friend
Hey there can you hear me out, my baby’s left again.
Before I had the chance to speak he was, rambling on
I said “Hold it there a minute, bud, you’re talking on my dime.” Oh...
CHORUS
You talk, you talk, you talk, you talk and I never get to.
You talk, you talk, you talk, you talk and I---never get through, I never get through...
You talk, you talk, you talk, you talk and I never get to.
You talk, you talk, you talk, you talk and I---never get through,
I never get through to you...
That’s right. Shut it up. You heard me. Shut your mouth!
