Don’t Talk Much Lyrics by John Taylor

Retreat into Art

1997

[Verse 1]
I don't talk much
'Cause when I do I lie
I don't listen well
I'm not the listening kind of guy
[Chorus]
But when I'm deep in your arms
I feel I'm full of fire
[Verse 2]
I don't see too good
I used to, but now I'm blind (Now I'm blind)
I've lived in poverty
I've acted my age and now I slide (Now I slide)
[Refrain]
(Get up, get up) My life has gone and walked out on me
(Get up, get up) My life has gone and died
(Get up, get up) My life has gone and walked out on me
(Get up, get up) My life has gone and lied
[Chorus]
But when I'm deep in your arms
I feel I'm full of fire
[Post-Chorus]
And when I say I love you
Baby, I really do
When I say I want you
I need you, baby, I want you
[Interlude]
Each of us different from the last of us
Each of us different from the last of us
Last of us different from the first of us
Each of us different
[Refrain]
(Get up, get up) My life has gone and walked out on me
(Get up, get up) My life has gone and died
(Get up, get up) My life has gone and walked out on me
(Get up, get up) My life has gone and lied
[Chorus]
But when I'm deep in your arms
I feel I'm full of fire
[Post-Chorus]
And when I say I want you
Baby, I really do (Full of fire)
When I say I need you
Then, baby, I need you (Full of fire)
When I say I love you
Baby, I want you (Full of fire)
When I say I need you
Baby, I need you
And I need you and I need you and I need you and I need you and I need you and I need you and I need you and I need you and I need you and I need you and I need you and I need you and I need you
