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
