If you don't want to talk, fine
I can keep myself busy
I don't need your chatter
I don't need that melodic voice to live

but I see you talkin' to others
how dare you babe
When I gave you everything
all I wanted was to talk

to sit here on the porch
and listen to your voice
without the light of a torch

but if you don't want to talk, fine
I can keep myself busy
I don't need you chatter
I don't need that melodic voice to live

I see you talkin' to others
how dare you babe
when I gave you everything
and all I wanted was to talk

you're the easiest to talk to love
how I enjoy every word I hear you say
every word I see you write

but if you don't want to talk, fine!
I can keep myself busy
I don't need your chatter
who says I need you melodic voice in my ear

if you don't want to talk, fine
I can keep myself busy
I have other people who enjoy my company
though never as much as I enjoy yours

if you don't want to talk fine
I can keep myself busy
I don't need your chatter
how dare you babe
when I gave you everything I had
when all I wanted was to talk
