Mmm-hmm, mmm
Lord, Lordy, Lordy
Standing here on my own side
Waitin' for the floor
Your world's movin' fast
But still ends up a bore
Come on, give me a little room now
Do you have to take it all?
Yeah, that's the way it is, I guess
When you're born with nothin' at all

Ahem
I want to talk to you
I want to talk to you
Hey, boy, don't feel my world's untrue
Yeah, I want to talk to you
My world can be true
If you do what I tell you to
I want to talk to you

Pick up my life at the table
Read about the way I could be
Well, I know I just ain't able
So I read about the real me
Who can I blame
For the way I am?
I ain't never had one soul to help me
So I don't give a

Ahem
Watch that, boy, watch that
I heard you thinkin'
I want to talk to you
I want to talk to you
Don't feel my world's untrue
Yeah, boy, I want to talk to you
My world can be true
But you gotta find out what to do
I want to talk to you sonny beau

I got a woman that love me
Feed me beans every night
Twelve babies look up at me
With big grey hungry eyes
Oh, but I just can't complain
You see, you said I ain't allowed
Oh, but pretty soon will come a change
When I gain the biggest mouth

Ahem
I want to talk to you
I want to talk to you
Don't feel my world's untrue
Yeah, boy, I want to talk to you
My world can be true
I'ma show you what to do
I want to talk to you

Hey, don't want to talk to you

What you mean by that boy

I don't want to talk to you

I recognize you as being a human being

I've been listening to you for 250 thousand years

I called you Steve when you were among my friends

Don't want to talk to you (I want to talk to you)

Too late

Nah, boy

Too late (nah) I can't wait

Don't want to talk to you

You can have supper with me next week
And after that you can mow my lawn (don't want to talk to you, no)

(Understand me) you can't tell me nothin' white man
Try to understand yourself

(You hear what I'm sayin'?) oh, I don't want to say a word to you

Do ya understand me?

Nah I don't hear ya, I want to talk

Too late (nah, it ain't)
Can't wait (yes, ya can)

Don't want to talk to you (ah, Stevie, boy)

I don't need you for nothin' (come on, Stevie, let's talk now)

Don't want to talk to you (you know I'm ya friend)

Ah, I'm gonna take my share (nah, Stevie you can't do that)
(I'll give it to ya)

Don't want to talk to you

Understand me now
Yeah, it's too late, can't wait (you'd my brother)

You's my brother now

Don't care about your sake (ah, ah, Stevie)

(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, Stevie) I don't want to talk to you

I guess I can't say nothin' to you

Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lord
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
