Song lyrics
I'm not talkin'
That's what I gotta say
If I say things are splendid
You might just be offended
If I say things are awful
It might just be unlawful
And that's one thing I can do without
I'm not talkin'
That's what I gotta say
I used to think I knew her
Man I sure would do her
The things that really matter
Gonna make some idle chatter
And that's one thing I can do without
Ooowwwaa... yeah
I'm not talkin'
A that's what I gotta say
The things I said at midnight
I may not say in daylight
I reached a final conclusion
It only breeds confusion
So don't call me daddy I'll call you
Yeeaaaoow....
Huh... c'mon...
I'm not talkin'
That's what I gotta say
I used to think I knew her
Man I sure would do her
The things that really matter
Gonna make sweet idle chatter baby
And that's one thing I can do without
Who... whoa....
Yeah
