"I Wanna Talk To You" lyrics
Lord, Lordy, Lordy
Standing here on my own side
Waiting for the floor
Your world's moving fast
But still ends up a bore
Come on give me a little room now
Do you have to take it all
Yeah that's the way it is I guess
Then you're born with nothing at all
I wanna talk to you
I wanna talk to you
Hey boy don't feel my world's untrue
Yeah, I wanna talk to you
My world can be true
I wanna talk to you
Pick up my life at the table
Read about the way I could be
But I know I just ain't able
So I read about the real me
Who can I blame
For the way I am
I ain't never had one soul to help me
So I don't give a
I wanna talk to you
I wanna talk to you
Hey boy don't feel my world's untrue
Yeah, I wanna talk to you
My world can be true
I wanna talk to you
Got to woman that love me
Feed me beans every night
Twelve babies look up at me
With big grey hungry eyes
Oh but I just can't complain
You see ya, said I ain't allowed
Oh but pretty soon will come a change
When I gain the biggest mouth
I wanna talk to you
I wanna talk to you
Hey boy don't feel my world's untrue
Yeah, I wanna talk to you
My world can be true
I wanna talk to you
Hey don't wanna talk to you
What you mean by that boy
I don't wanna talk to you
I recognize you as being a human being
I've been listening to you for 250 thousand years
I called you Steve when you were amongst my friends
Don't wanna talk to you
I wanna talk to you
Too late
Now boy
Too late I can't wait
Now
Don't wanna talk to you
You can have dinner with me next week
And after that you can mow my lawn
Hey don't wanna talk to you now
Understand me
You can't tell me nothing white man
Try to understand yourself
Don't wanna talk to you
I wanna talk to you
Too late
Now boy
Too late I can't wait
Now
Don't wanna talk to you
You know I'm your friend
I'm going to take my share
N-n-now Stevie you can't do that
I-I-I give it to you
I wanna talk to you
I wanna talk to you
Hey boy don't feel my world's untrue
Yeah, I wanna talk to you
My world can be true
I wanna talk to you
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lord
Now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now
Standing here on my own side
Waiting for the floor
Your world's moving fast
But still ends up a bore
Come on give me a little room now
Do you have to take it all
Yeah that's the way it is I guess
Then you're born with nothing at all
I wanna talk to you
I wanna talk to you
Hey boy don't feel my world's untrue
Yeah, I wanna talk to you
My world can be true
I wanna talk to you
Pick up my life at the table
Read about the way I could be
But I know I just ain't able
So I read about the real me
Who can I blame
For the way I am
I ain't never had one soul to help me
So I don't give a
I wanna talk to you
I wanna talk to you
Hey boy don't feel my world's untrue
Yeah, I wanna talk to you
My world can be true
I wanna talk to you
Got to woman that love me
Feed me beans every night
Twelve babies look up at me
With big grey hungry eyes
Oh but I just can't complain
You see ya, said I ain't allowed
Oh but pretty soon will come a change

Hey boy don't feel my world's untrue

Hey boy don't feel my world's untrue
Yeah, I wanna talk to you
My world can be true
I wanna talk to you
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lord
Now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now
