Talk
The Bandettes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You just can't keep quiet for a minute
Your voice is the only thing I hear when I approache
No offence, I'm just telling you the truth
And I know, that you've heard the same saying as I have
You've been told, that you use your voice too much
With our words like a bridge between us
And if we wouldn't, it would surely all just stop
Has ever silence helped us to evolve?
So we talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk
Yes we talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk
Never gonna stop talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk
Yes we talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
I just can't keep quiet for a minute
My voice is the only thing you hear when you approache
No offence, I'm just telling you the truth
And I know, that you've heard the same saying as I have
You've been told, that you use your voice too much
So we talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk
Yes we talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk
Never gonna stop talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk
Yes we talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk
