Talk is cheap and I should know
I've given my everything and it wasn't close
People mean well but still make a mess
From now on I'm listening, and saving my breath
Oooh
Lately I'm losing my appetite for all the pretty young girls and the
Socialites who just talk
And this is what we do is just talk
Watch them waste breath on a magazine or re-hash what the television shows
All mean, it's just talk
And this is what we do, we just talk
Some people don't know how they really feel
Some people wont talk about what is real
And I could never chit chat all day long
Some people just look for an open ear
Some people don't care what you want to hear
And everybody's talking while they're stringing me along
CHORUS
I'll go by what you do
Cause talk is cheap
And I don't want to wait for you
Cause talk is cheap
I don't know how you spend the time
But I'm done wasting all of mine
Cause talk is cheap
Lately I'm tired of politics and listening to the never ending arguments
That just stall
And this is what we do, we just talk
Never known someone to change their mind after a heated debate over the
Moral lines we just crossed
But this is what we do, we just talk
Some people get cute when they draw the line
Some people won't choose over left or right
And I could never stomach all that greed
Some people don't care enough
Some people get scared enough to get talked into something that they think
They should believe
CHORUS
I'll go by what you do
Cause talk is cheap
And I don't want to wait for you
Cause talk is cheap
I don't know how you spend the time
But I'm done wasting all of mine
Cause talk is cheap
Some people, some people, some people think action is over due
Some people, some people, some people can't wait, we've got work to do
I'll only speak of what I've done cause talk is cheap
And if you're listening everyone, bite your tongue when you're talking
To me
CHORUS
I'll go by what you do
Cause talk is cheap
And I don't want to wait for you
Cause talk is cheap
I don't know how you spend the time
But I'm done wasting all of mine
Cause talk is cheap
Cause talk is cheap
Cause talk is cheap
