[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
When I took a little loving from you, oh I
Never thought about the hurting inside
But I took a little more than I should, oh I
Can't explain that I would ever

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Let you slip through my fingers
Let you escape like yesterday
I would appreciate you knowing
I thought your love had come to stay

[Chorus]
Talking out of turn, shot to pieces
When will I learn?
Talking out of turn, shot to pieces
When will I learn?

[Verse 2]
But I took a little more of you each day, when I
Didn't see that I was breaking you apart
With angry words of love I didn't mean, oh I
Can't believe that I would ever
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Talk myself out of tomorrow
Talk like a fool to yesterday
And as the evening loses colour
Your love began to fade away (Fade away)

[Chorus]
Talking out of turn, shot to pieces
When will I learn?
Talking out of turn, shot to pieces
When will I learn?

[Post-Chorus]
Talking out of turn
Talking out of turn

[Bridge]
If I upset you, I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't mean to make you cry
I don't need an alibi
To start me talking out of turn

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
When I took a little loving from you, oh I
Can't believe that I would ever
[Pre-Chorus 3]
(Talk) Let you slip through my fingers
(Talk) Let you escape like yesterday
(Talk) I would appreciate you knowing
(Talk) I thought your love had come to stay

[Chorus]
Talking out of turn, shot to pieces
When will I learn?
Talking out of turn, shot to pieces
When will I learn?

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Talking out of turn, shot to pieces
When will I learn?

[Outro]
Talk, talk, talk, talking out of turn
Talk, talk, talk, talking out of turn

[Instrumental Outro]
