I Only Want To Talk To You

Someone saw, someone said

Slightly misconstrued

All hell broke loose at midnight

When I guess you got the news

There's a dead bird on the sidewalk

And I'm wishin' I was too

And I only want to talk to you

There's tire marks on the concrete

Where you spun out of the drive

There's a hound dog in the corner

Lookin' glad to be alive

And if the phone rings on the table

Well I don't know what I'll do

I only want to talk to you

It's serious this time

What am I supposed to say

Is it a test of some kind

Or a price I ought to have to pay

Now it's upside down and backwards

The foot's on the other shoe

I only want to talk to you

I only want to talk to you

The neighbor kids across the street

Are pointing across the yard

And the social worker next door

Dropped by and left her card

But I don't want to talk to nobody

About what we're going through

I only want to talk to you

I only want to talk to you

And it's serious this time

What am I supposed to do

Walkin' a fine line

Must've broken it clean in two

Now it's upside down and backwards

The foot's on the other shoe

And I only want to talk to you

I only want to talk to you

There's a nice young man in a clean white shirt

Ringing the front door bell

I'm gonna hide out in the kitchen

And let that hound dog give him hell

'Cause I don't want to talk about Jesus

Not even for a minute or two

I only want to talk to you

I only want to talk to you

I only want to talk to you
