I'm not talking   Well that's all I got to say   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 all I got to say   Things I say at midnight   I ain't gonna say 'em 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 all I got to say   Things I say at midnight   I ain't gonna say 'em 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 all 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
