Talking is good, talking makes you think
Talking is better than a strong drink
What comes out if you let it
You'll never know till you said it
Talking is good, so good
You got it bad, you got it all in your head
Bats on the brain, creatures inside of your bed
Cashing 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
Talking is good, talking makes you think
Talking is better than a strong drink
What comes out if you let it
You'll never know till you said it
Talking 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 saying what you can do
Shout it into the air, I'm listening to you
Talking is good
One word, two words
Once you open up you'll find a third
And your tongue undone
Are you ever gonna stop
Now that you've begun
Talking is good, but talking 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
Talking is good
Talking is good
