You Talk Too Much
Jones Joe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You talk too much, you worry me to death,
You talk too much, you even worry my pet.
You just talk, talk too much.

You talk about people that you don't know,
You talk about people wherever you go.
You just talk, talk too much.
You talk about people that you've never seen,




You talk about people, you can make me scream.
You just talk, you talk too much.

During a family car trip my mom was well into one of her never ending stories when this song came on the radio. We all started cracking up.

Been listing to this song from time to time since 1960. A novelty song that I never get tired of. The song is from a wonderful time that will never be duplicated.
