"When To Talk And When To Listen" lyrics

"When To Talk And When To Listen"

When to talk and when to listen
When to go and when to stay
When to talk and when to listen

So... nice to see you
My good old, my good old friend
So... nice to notice
Across the street, the woman's in the garden again

When to talk and when to listen
When to go and when to stay
How to love without condition
I think you love me that way

I think you love me that way
I think you love me that way

Don't listen when they say that you're lucky in love
Don't let them make you think that it's sent from above
Cause when you're ready, ya its gonna find you
Its gonna find you when you're ready to take it
I thought I taught you now to have a little patience
I can't believe it, I can't believe I'm down on my knees, ya

When to talk and when to listen
When to go and when to stay
How to love without condition
I think you love me that way
When to talk and when to listen
When to go and when to stay
How to love without condition
I think you love me that way

I think you love me that way
I think you love me that way

Let him take you by the hips, take you out on the floor
You got me down on my knees, got me down on my knees
Cause you can listen to what they say
The reputation that you heard before
Just get a bit of backbone - Lose a little vanity
A bit of backbone lose a little vanity
I can't believe it, I can't believe I'm down on my knees, ya

When to talk and when to listen
When to go and when to stay
How to love without condition
I think you love me that way
When to talk and when to listen
When to go and when to stay
How to love without condition
I think you love me that way
