Quite often in serous matters a persn can have opinions that are well founded and we have every right to express thse opinions. We do not have the right to regale our friends and family all the time, every day, at every oportunity and throw a wet banket on every phoone call or visit. If you do that people will avoid you like a bad cold. You can be aware of the seriousness of the matter without steeping yourself in it non stop every day and letting it rob you of the joy of life.
You talk too much,
You worry and you fret.
You're angry about everything,
I wish that I were deaf.
You just talk, talk, talk, talk,
You talk too much.
You fuss, you cuss, expostulate,
You have no peace of mind.
Seems life for you is misery,
And you're just marking time.
You just talk, talk, talk, talk,
You talk too much.
You talk about religion,
Politics, the law,
The morals of the common man,
And their decline and fall.
You just talk, talk, talk, talk,
You talk too much.
Your conversation doesn't change,
It's always the same.
It's like some foolish little game,
In which the rules are plain.
You just talk, talk, talk, talk,
You talk too much.
You're the one who's always right,
The one who knows the score.
Your opinion of the utmost,
There isn't room for more.
You just talk, talk, talk, talk,
You talk too much.
If I offer up a different view,
You look down and scoff.
I wish there was a switch somewhere,
So I could turn you off.
You just talk, talk, talk, talk,
You talk too much.
