Talkin' is good Talkin' makes you think Talkin' is better than a strong drink What comes out if you let it You'll never know till you said it Talkin' is good, so good You got it bad, you got it all in your head Bats on the brain Creatures inside of your bed Cashin' it in you could feel better instead Before you could walk Had to learn how to crawl You know how to talk Why don't you tell me it all Talkin' is good Talkin' makes you think Talkin' is better than a strong drink What comes out if you let it You'll never know till you said it Talkin' is good, so good When you were small they told you that it was wrong Tuck it away That's the place it belongs Open your mouth forget the words to that song Nobody's here sayin' what you can do Shout it into the air I'm listening to you Yeah talkin' is good One word two words Once you open up you'll find a third Your tongue undone Are you ever gonna stop Now that you've begun Talkin' is good But talkin' can be cheap Don't make a promise that you can't keep Better watch what you're saying Cause tomorrow you might be paying For talk that's no good, no good Talkin' is good Talkin' is good Talkin' is good
