Genesis
Small Talk
[Intro]
Don't talk back to me
Don't talk back to me
Don't talk back to me
Don't talk

[Verse 1]
Going round in circles
Hearing too many points of view
Just words to tire me out
Small talk I could do without
I would be amazed
If you returned to see things my way
Now that you've been disrespectful
To my sense of pride

[Verse 2]
Isn't it a shame that you were lying
When you said to me (Small talk)
I was the only one
You and I were meant to be
I expect you'll never really
Feel the way that I do
All of this is with regret
I'm sure you will agree
[Chorus]
Say something to me, anything at all
I want you to mean what you say
I've seen all I want to see
And you mean the world to me
I've lived for each moment to be with you
With you, with you

[Post-Chorus]
Small talk
Small talk
Small talk
Small talk

[Verse 3]
You say I don't talk enough
That applies to both of us
Don't try to sound me out
Something I could do without
So much goes on inside your head
I often wonder
Have you heard enough to know
There's nothing left to say

[Chorus]
Say something to me, anything at all
I want you to mean what you say
I've seen all I want to see
And you mean the world to me
I've lived for each moment to be with you
With you, with you
[Post-Chorus]
Small talk
Small talk, ah, small talk
That's all I ever hear
Small talk

[Outro]
I'll be alright
It may take sometime
But I'll be alright (Don't talk back to me)
I'll be alright (Don't talk back to me)
(Don't want to be alone, nothing worth to carry on)
I'll be alright (Don't talk back to me)
(Try hard to understand, you won't seem to lend a hand)
I'll be alright (Don't talk back to me)
(Without you'll fail to see, you never spare a thought for me)
I'll be alright (Don't talk back to me)
(So many things you said, going round in circles)
I'll be alright (Don't talk back to me)
(I'll rise above it all, enough to see another day)
I'll be alright, I'll be alright
(Don't talk back to me)
(So many things you said, going round in circles)
I'll be alright (Don't talk back to me)
(Don't try to sound me out, something I could do without)
