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

BBC version

I'm not talking

Well that's all I got to say

If I said things were splendid

Our mom might be offended

If I said things were awful

It may just be unlawful

That's one thing I can do without

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

Don't call me baby, I'll call you

I'm not talking

Well that's all I got to say

If I said things 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
