Talk Away

[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
