Lyrics
Love Talking
Don’t tell me what to do,
I’ll do as I please
Don’t try to tell me lies,
You’ll never get me to believe
Just when you think you understand me,
I’ll bring you to your knees
This is love talking, Love talking
Everybody wants me,
Atleast that’s what they say
But some hearts won’t invite me
And some hide me away
And I’m whispered of by lovers,
I’m dreamed about and made
This is love talking, Love talking
Oh, I’m calloused and misunderstood
I’m where you find the greatest good
I’m sometimes serious,
Sometimes a game
I’m heaven and I’m also hell
I can make you sick or keep you well
I’m everybody’s deepest joy and pain
Some folks say they see me,
When they know I’m not there
Some choose to ignore me,
When I’m with them everywhere
Some see me as a war,
Well, I admit I don’t fight fair
This is love talking,
This is love talking to you.
I’m often lost and rarely found
I’ve turned a lot of lives around
There’s nothing any stronger when I’m true
I’m just as blind in poverty as I am in royalty
Let me be the greatest thing in you
Some children never have me
That’s a crying shame
Some people never show me
And they hide behind my name
When the world forgets to use me,
I’m the tears for what remains
This is love talking
Love talking
