(John Lodge)



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 why, can't explain that I would ever

Let you slip through my fingers

Let you escape like yesterday

I would appreciate you knowing

I thought you 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



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 why, can't believe that I would ever

Talk myself out of tomorrow

Talked like a fool to yesterday

And as the evening loses colour

Your love began to fade away



CHORUS



Talking out of turn

Talking out of turn



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



When I took a little loving from you

Oh I, can't believe that I would ever

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
