i have done my share of running around
not to be denied what i consider fun
stumbling home at 3 am
not too sure of where i'd been
still your voice was always there
and you talk to me
thru all these years
sometimes the words
i know they fell
on half-deaf ears
oh you talk to me
and i thought
that you weren't here
but you were
and you talk to me
situations change and so do feelings
sometimes for the better sometimes not
why should i be the lucky one
receiving all you've given
am i too late to listen now
oh you talk to me
thru all these years
sometimes the words
i know they fell
on half-deaf ears
oh you talk to me
and i thought
that you weren't here
but you were
and you talk to me
well i can't keep on taking
and giving nothing back
the words got thru and gave me
the courage that i lacked
i can't change the days
we put behind us
i swear i'll make a difference today
tomorrow's sure no promise
but if it comes i'll be here
and that's something time can't change
and you talk to me
thru all these years
sometimes the words
i know they fell
on half-deaf ears
oh you talk to me
and i thought
that you weren't here
but you were
and you talk to me
oh you talk to me
oh you talk to me
