Rivers Cuomo
The Gift of Gab
[Verse 1]
I'm getting stuck in tough conversations
'Bout what my plan is, and how the band is
They keep on talking, talking, all this insanity
I'm feeling pressured, don't need a lecture
I only wanna have a real communion
But I don't know how I can reach out to him

[Chorus]
I just wanna be friends, but I simply don't have
The gift of gab, oh, the gift of gab
I just wanna be friends but I simply don't have
The gift of gab, oh, the gift of gab
No I do not have
The gift of gab

[Verse 2]
Then I bring up that controversial article
So many women can't have everything
The heat is rising as they're sharing their viewpoints
There's such a high cost, futures have been lost
And then they ask me what I think about it
The truth is that I'm scared to think about it

[Chorus]
I just wanna be friends, but I simply don't have
The gift of gab, oh, the gift of gab
I just wanna be friends but I simply don't have
The gift of gab, oh, the gift of gab
No I do not have
The gift of gab
[Bridge]
All I wanna do is hang around with you
Never have to prove anything to you
Yeah
Yeah!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I just wanna be friends, but I simply don't have
The gift of gab, oh, the gift of gab
I just wanna be friends but I simply don't have
The gift of gab, oh, the gift of gab

[Outro]
No I do not have
The gift of gab
