I'm Not Talking Songtext / Lyric

EP version



I'm not talking,

Well that's what I got to say.

I 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 what I got to say.

Things I say at midnight,

I ain't gonna say 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 what I got to say.

Things I say at midnight,

I ain't gonna say 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 what 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 what 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 what 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 what 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.
