The Shadowboxers
Telephone
[Verse 1]
It's just talk
Tell me what you mean, even if you mean to tell me off
Come and tell me off
It's just talk
Don't mean anything if you don't believe
What you mean to say
Come and tell me straight, hey
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, I just want to believe you
But I know that everything will be see-through
When you see the truth, see the truth
You know this ain't you
There ain't any weight in your words
And I ain't lying when I say that it hurts me
You know this ain't you, ain't you
You know this ain't you
[Chorus]
Words just don't get it
You talk them on and on
To drag me along
It's like you know that I'll keep calling
Feels like I'm twelve years old
Playing Telephone
[Post-Chorus]
Don't mean half the shit you're saying
That would've been nice to know
Yeah, that would've been nice to know
So fuck you and this game you're playing
And the string that you put me on
Yeah, the string that you put me on
[Verse 2]
It's just talk
See we make a plan, then you go and stand me up
And use some fake excuse
It's just talk (Talk)
And the worst thing is that I know
That you could follow through
If you wanted to (What you gonna do?)
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, I just want to believe you
But I know that everything will be see-through (Everything)
When you see the truth, see the truth (Uh)
You know this ain't you (Ah, no)
There ain't any weight in your words
And I ain't lying when I say that it hurts me
You know this ain't you, ain't you
You know this ain't you
[Chorus]
Words just don't get it
You talk them on and on
To drag me along
It's like you know that I'll keep calling
Feels like I'm twelve years old
Playing Telephone
[Post-Chorus]
('Cause I know you)
Don't mean half the shit you're saying (Shit you're saying)
That would've been nice to know
Yeah, that would've been nice to know
So fuck you and this game you're playing (Game you're playing)
And the string that you put me on
Yeah, the string that you put me on
[Bridge]
Huh, uh, yeah
You can talk, you can talk
[Chorus]
Words just don't get it (Get it)
You talk them on and on (On and on and on)
To drag me along
It's like you know that I'll keep calling
Feels like I'm twelve years old
Playing Telephone
[Outro]
Just go and take a stand
Tell me if I'm your man
Or go (Twelve years-old, playing Telephone)
Just go and take a stand
Tell me if I'm your man
Or go (Twelve years old, playing Telephone)
Just go and take a stand (tell me)
Tell me if I'm your man
Or go (Twelve years old, playing Telephone)
Just go and take a stand
Tell me if I'm your man
Or go (Twelve years old, playing Telephone)
