I’m Not Talking
Mose Allison
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
