Jive Talking
I never speak my mind
when I am in a crowd
'cause no one's coming out
with what they feel inside
so if my spirit's low
I'll keep it to myself
won't try to be sincere
'cause nobody wants to hear
jive talking
don't ever let it show
jive talking
don't let nobody know
jive talking
don't ever let it show
jive talking
don't let nobody know
I'm bungled up with words
I'd like to say to you
the message's very plain
if you'd just hear me through
but it's a major task
to catch you off your guard
when your defense is low
you panic, and off you go
jive talking
hiding yourself away
jive talking
only a game you play
jive talking
hiding yourself away
jive talking
only a game you play
now, everybody says;
hey, let's communicate
but it's a social game
each time we congregate
if you break the rules
exposing all your fears
don't be surprised to find your friends
are off somewhere
jive talking
that's what we ever do
jive talking
letting nobody through
jive talking
that's what we ever do
jive talking
letting nobody through
jive talking
hiding yourself away
jive talking
only a game you play
jive talking
hiding yourself away
jive talking
only a game you play
now, everybody says;
hey, let's communicate
but it's a social game
each and every time we congregate
if you break the rules
exposing all your fears
don't be surprised to find your friends
are off somewhere
jive talking
that's what we ever do
jive talking
letting nobody through
jive talking
that's all we ever do
jive talking
letting nobody through
jive talking
hiding yourself away
jive talking
only a game you play
jive talking
don't ever let it show
