Talk Away Lyrics by Paula Kelley

Some Sucker’s Life, Part 1

2006

[Verse 1]
She told him on the phone:
"I'm a big girl now, I whore up my own
I wear pajamas when I sleep alone
And always smash glass in my house that's made of stone"

[Pre-Chorus 1]
But little girls in big boots never say
That all their talk don't mean they'll get their way

[Verse 2]
She said to him at home
"I've never understood your silent ways"
So he handed her a pencil-written note
'Cause he was too afraid to speak that day

[Pre-Chorus 2]
A picture's worth a thousand words and talk is cheap
So not a peep

[Chorus]
And I'd leave here tomorrow if I could a way
I'd talk to you more often if you had something to say
I've never said a word, but I'll be stronger soon, I pray
So, oh, talk away

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
As he settled in bed
He thought about what she had said
Then grew up for some pajamas from his drawer
And smashed his whiskey glass right on the stone floor

[Pre-Chorus 3]
If my thoughts were words, [?] and I'd bet
Tell them you're right

[Chorus]
And I'd leave here tomorrow if I could a way
I'd talk to you more often if you had something to say
I've never said a word, but I get stronger every day
So, talk away

[Outro]
So, talk away
