DON'T TALK NOW

James Taylor

Where I've been
You don't know
And what I've got
Babe it don't show
Now I won't try
To teach you how
Don't talk now
Mmmm, hmmmm, hmmm . . .

Don't talk roads
Don't talk sand
Don't talk dust
Don't talk, no man
Don't talk rules
Don't talk vows
Don't talk now
Mmmm, hmmmm, hmmm . . .

I don't want to hear
That same old song
And too many rights
Still make her wrong
She can't hurt me less
By talking more
She can't make good
What was bad before

It's too late
For me to lie
And I can't make
A second try
I just came on back
Got to say goodbye, goodbye
Don't talk now
Mmmm, hmmmm, hmmm . . .

I don't want to hear
The same old song
And too many rights, girl
Still make you wrong
She can't hurt me less
By talking more
She can't make good
What was bad before . . .

I just came on back
I got to say good, goodbye
Mmmm, hmmmm, hmmm . . .
Don't talk now,
I say, don't talk now . . .
