 Send "Don`t Talk" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
[ Dennis Drew/Natalie Merchant ]

Don`t talk, I will listen. 
Don`t talk, you keep your distance 
for I`d rather hear some truth tonight than
entertain your lies, 
so take you poison silently. 
Let me be. Let me close my eyes. 

Don`t talk, I`ll believe it. 
Don`t talk, listen to me instead, 
I know that if you think of it, both long enough
and hard 
the drink you drown your troubles in is the
trouble you`re in now. 

Talk talk talk about it, if you talk as if you
care 
but when your talk is over tilt that bottle in
the air, 
tossing back more than your share. 

Don`t talk, I can guess it. 
Don`t talk, well now your restless 
and you need somewhere to put the blame for how
you feel inside. 
You`ll look for a close and easy mark and you`ll
see me as fair game. 

Talk talk talk about it, talk as if you care 
but when your talk is over tilt that bottle in
the air 
tossing back more than your share. 
You talk talk talk about it, you talk as if you
care. 
I`m marking every word and can tell this time for
sure, 
your talk is the finest I have heard. 

So don`t talk, let me go on dreaming. 
How your eyes they glow so fiercely I can tell
your inspired 
by the name you chose for me. Now what was it? O,
never mind it. 
We will talk talk talk about this when your head
is clear. 
I`ll discuss this in the morning, but until then
you may talk but I won`t hear.
