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 ever would

Let you slip through my fingers,

Let you escape like yesterday.

I would appreciate you knowing,

I thought your love had come to stay.

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 your 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 ever would

Talk myself out of tomorrow,

Talked like a fool to yesterday

And, as the evening loses colour,

Your love began to fade away.



Talking out of turn,

Shot to pieces,

When will I learn?

Talking out of turn,

Shot to pieces,

When will I learn?



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 ever would

Let you slip through my fingers,

Let you escape like yesterday.

I would appreciate you knowing,

I thought your love had come to stay



Talking out of turn,

Shot to pieces,

When will I learn?

Talking out of turn,

Shot to pieces,

When will I learn?
