"Honey, Hush! (Talking Woman Blues)" lyrics

Oh, honey, hush
You know you talk too much
Oh, honey, hush
You know you talk too much

Just listenin' to your conversation
Is just about to separate us

You start talkin' in the morning
You talk all day long
I'm figurin' out
What I did wrong

'Cause you talk so much
Yes, you talk too much
Just listenin' to your conversation
Just about to separate us

I stay out late
'Cause I'd had to, I hate to come home
Everything I do, baby
Seems to be wrong

'Cause you talk so much
Yeah, you talk too much
Just listenin' to your conversation
Just about to separate us

I can't eat, I can't sleep
I can't rest in peace
I'll be better off
Walkin' the street

'Cause you talk so much
Girl, what's the matter with you?
Yeah, you talk so much
Listenin' just to your conversation

Just about to separate us
I don't know what's the matter with you, girl

Keep on runnin' your mouth all the time
Keep on livin'

Come for lunch and dinner
I do it all the time
This little woman
Just drives me out of my mind

'Cause you talk so much
Yeah, you talk so much
Just listenin' to your conversation
Is just about to separate us

Now I gotta talk to you, little girl

Run your lip all the time
Just listenin' to you makes me mad
