Lonely Talk - Michael McDonald

From a promise to a lie, from lies to regret

Turn your back on truth, baby

And that’s always what you get

'Cause a man could drown in a love so deep, baby

I’m not begging you to stay

It’s just lonely talk

You don’t hear a word I say

You just turn and walk, baby

When I’m on my knees and praying

To the Lord above

When He listens to my prayer

He knows that it’s just lonely talk

Ooh well, I call your name and I cry all night

Well, it’s of no concern to you, baby

Now that I’m out of your sight

From a rainbow’s end to my dying day

I’m gonna keep on living this life, baby

Till I get it right

you look so sweet, baby

I’m not begging you to stay

It’s just lonely talk

You don’t hear a word I say

You just turn and walk, baby

When I’m on my knees and praying

To my Lord above

When He listens to my prayer

Knows it’s only lonely talk

When I’m on my knees and praying

To the Lord above

When He listens to my prayer

Knows it’s only lonely talk

He knows what’s best for me That it’s only lonely talk

Ooh baby, lonely talk

Oh, lonely talk, baby, lonely talk

Oh baby, lonely talk
