I'm not talkin' Don't ask me what I have to say If I said things is splendid Someone would be offended If I said things were awful It might just be unlawful I'm not talkin' it just don't pay I'm not talkin' Don't ask me what it's all about I used to think I knew it But man I just out grew it The things that really matter Don't mix with idle chatter And that's one thing I can do without I'm not talkin' Don't ask me what I'm gonna do The things I say at midnight I might not say in daylight I've reached the fine conclusion It only breeds confusion So don't call me daddy I'll call you I'm not talkin' I'm not talkin'
