Don't talk, I will listen   Don't talk, you keep your distance      I'd rather hear some truth tonight   Than entertain your lies   So take you poison silently   Let me be, let me close my eyes      Don't talk, I'll believe it   Don't talk, listen to me instead      I know that if you think of it   Both long enough and hard   The drink you drown your troubles in   Is the trouble you're in now      Talk, talk, talk about it   If you talk as if you care   But when your talk is over   Tilt that bottle in the air      Tossing back   More than your share      Don't talk, I can guess it   Don't talk, well, now you're restless      And you need somewhere to put the blame   For how you feel inside   You'll look for a close and easy mark   And you'll see me as fair game      Talk, talk, talk about it   You talk as if you care   But when your talk is over   Tilt that bottle in the air      Tossing back   More than your share      You talk, talk, talk about it   You talk as if you care   I'm marking every word   And can tell this time for sure      Your talk is the finest   I have heard      So don't talk, I'm sleeping   Don't talk, let me go on dreaming      How your eyes they glow so fiercely   I can tell that you're inspired   By the name that you just chose for me   Now what was it? Oh, never mind it      We will talk, talk, talk about this   When your head is clear   I'll discuss this in the morning   But until that you may talk but I won't hear
