Talk About It
Billy & Lisa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's another dead evening here
It's already midnight and I'm still so awake

I see your lights are still on
I know you're alone, you know
His car isn't there
Why don't you come over
Is it 'cause you're afraid of what people will say

Seen around with someone like me
I shouldn't care if I was you
I'm not the only man in town
Honey

Your secret's safe with me
I won't talk about it
I won't talk about it
I won't talk about it
I won't talk about it
I won't talk about it

You know I've been thinking about you a lot lately
And how it's just the time for us
Just the time we would get together
(I won't talk about it)
You and me, just think of it, alone

(I won't talk about it)
Shouldn't, doesn't matter what people say
I don't care where you come from
Where I've been
Just us together
(I won't talk about it)
Do you know baby it's hard being secret
I'm telling ya

Your secret is safe with me
I won't talk about it
I won't talk about it
I won't talk about it
I won't talk about it

Mm, this is no disgrace
There'll be no people for you to face
(I won't talk about it)
Oh no-one will know
Oh I need you so
I won't talk about it
No, no, no, nobody will know exactly where you go
(I won't talk about it)
Won't talk about it, won't talk about it, ooh
(I won't talk about it)

I won't talk about it, no, no, no, no
But I'll run you off
No, we could have a laugh
I'd love to get your dress off
That's if you'd have me
That's not literally speaking, I'm talking about y'know as a long time friend
I won't talk about it
But I might write it down in my diary
And then when I'm all lonely I'll have it there to read
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(I won't talk about it)
Ooh
I'm tired of laying here all alone
(I won't talk about it)
Playing with myself, looking at the ceiling, yeah, yeah
I'm all out of coffee
(I won't talk about it) oh no, no, no

And all my library books are overdue
