(Otis Blackwell)



We talked about the birdies

That fly up in the trees

We talked about the moon

And the stars we couldn't see

But you keep on pretending

You don't know what's wrong with me



Come on, let's talk, about us



We talked about the good times

That made us laugh and sigh

We talked about the bad times

That brought tears to our eyes

Now, I think it's about time

For you to realize



Come on, let's talk, about us



(Hey)

Dear, I swear I'll love you, 'til the very end

But I don't plan on stickin' around

If it's just to be your friend



We've talked, an' talked, an' talked, an' talked

But there's been nothin' said

The things that you've been talkin' about

Just don't stick to my head



Sometimes I think, little girl

That your heart is filled with lead



Come on, let's talk, about us



Well, dear I swear I'll love you

Oh, 'til the very end

Well, I don't plan on stickin' around

If it's just to be your friend



We've talked, an' talked, an' talked, an' talked

And there's been nothin' said

The thing that you've been talkin' about

Just don't stick to my head

My darlin' little girl

I think that your heart is made of lead



Come on, let's talk, about us



Come on, let's talk, about us



Well, well, well, well, well



Come on, let's talk, about us
