talk is cheap - Tarrus Riley

I don’t find it funny

Act as if dem love you and know dem no mean it

Dem smile inna your face, but dem no true, no

Dem only pretend

You’ve got to check your lover and watch your friends

Dem act as if they are with you

And I don’t find it funny

The things people do

A pose nuff a pose like, dem mean you good

Dem all put on the clothes of sheep, when dem a wolf

Outside dem attractive, inside dem destructive

You cyaan judge the book until you read the pages

So I don’t trust man so easily

Your words and ways, dem must agree

I tell you talk is cheap and you cyaan fool me

Me know a talk is cheap, in time we’ll see

Dem smile inna your face, but dem no true

Na-na-na, dem only pretend

You’ve got to check your lover and watch your friends

Dem act as if they are with you

And I don’t find it funny

The things people do

When you share and you break bread, dem a want it all

They’ll play games with your head, just to see you fall

You’d be surprised, who want to see your demise

A who no waan see you rise

Nuff a dem a waggonist in disguise

So I don’t trust one so easily

Your words and ways, dem must agree

Man weh talk is cheap and you cyaan fool me

Yes, talk is cheap, in time we’ll see

Nuff a dem a smile inna we face, but dem no true, no

Dem only pretend

You’ve got to pree your lover and watch your friends

Dem act as if they are with you

And I don’t find it funny

The things people do

The games people play (play)

I don’t find it funny

Act as if dem love you and know dem no mean it

The games people play

Jah know it no funny

Act as if dem love you and know dem no mean it

And I wouldn’t trust, not to trust, yeah

And I wouldn’t trust, not to trust, yeah

So I don’t trust man so easily

Your words and ways, dem must agree

I tell you talk is cheap and you cyaan fool me

Me know a talk is cheap, in time we’ll see
