Lyrics

Can’t Stop The Talkin’
[©William Livesay]

Some people think they’re cute, try to run me down
I’ve labored hard to keep my reputation on the ground
And it does no good for me to criticize
A garbage mouth would take me south and I don’t think that’s wise
It’s verbal abuse it’s time for me to cut em’ loose

And I can’t stop the talkin’, can’t stop the talkin’
Stumping on my time is where I draw the line
Can’t stop the talkin’ I just can’t stop the talkin’
I’ve heard it all before behind my back walking out the door

Well I’m tired of losin’ sleep over things that I can’t change
And so called in-tel-lec-tu-als put me in a rage
Who’s to say when life will feel the touch
To navigate without complaint is what I want so much
I’m going all the way
Critics holding court today

And I can’t stop the talkin’ I just can’t stop the talkin’
Stumping on my time is where I draw the line
Can’t stop the talkin’ can’t stop the talkin’
I’ve heard it all before behind my back walking out the door

I’ve heard it all from talking heads, out to make the scene
With adolescent party dolls in their company
I’m kicking up the dust I’m gonna’ bounce those bully boys
I hear their claims when dropping names
But they wouldn’t know the real McCoy
Conversation’s weak
I better clean my shoes it’s gettin’ deep

And I can’t stop the talkin’ I just can’t stop the talkin’
Stumping on my time is where I draw the line
Can’t stop the talkin’ can’t stop the talkin’
I’ve heard it all before behind my back walking out the door
And I can’t stop the talkin’ can’t stop the talkin’
Stumping on my time is where I draw the line
Can’t stop the talkin’ I just can’t stop the talkin’
I’ve heard it all before behind my back walking out the door
Can’t stop the talkin’, can’t stop the talkin’
