Talk To Me (Album Version)

Talk To Me - Barry Manilow (巴瑞·曼尼洛)

After it was over after the crying

And all the angry shouting

When we＇d both just given up

And you turned and closed the door

I didn＇t know what was wrong

Anymore than I did before

Maybe it was over

When you stopped trying

Or when I started doubting

Maybe you don＇t care enough

Maybe I＇m just scared you＇ll go

But maybe what was really wrong

Is that I still don＇t really know

Talk to me quietly peacefully

Tell me what to do

Talk to me honestly don＇t you see

I need to talk to you

I need to hear that we＇re okay

And say the things that I meant to say

So talk to me before

Before it＇s really over

When it all was starting

When I first met you

We couldn＇t keep from talking

I knew everything you felt

And I felt you knew me too

Now I＇m talking to myself

Or I＇m just yelling back at you

How this could have happened

How I could lose you

Or you could think to leave me

After where we started from

I＇m too dumb I guess to see

But you can＇t go ＇till I do

And you know

You owe that to me

Talk to me quietly peacefully

I don＇t wanna fight

Talk to me nice and slow

So I＇ll know

How to make it right

I＇m not afraid to take the blame

I＇m just afraid we＇ll stay the same

And we won＇t talk until

Until it＇s really over

I don＇t understand

Why you＇re always mad

What could I have done

What could be so bad

Don＇t you wanna know

Why I never sleep

Look what we＇ve become

From all these secrets that we keep

When it＇s really over

＇cause I can＇t take it

Or you＇ve walked out

For the last time

When these years are just a dream

And these tears somehow have dried

I can＇t wake up in my bed

And regret what we never tried

So please don＇t say it＇s over

Don＇t even think it

Just think about the good times

Think of all we＇ve got to lose

And not who＇s done what to who

And when it comes time to chose

Think of who would still die for you

Talk to me quietly peacefully

Make me understand

Say what you need to say

Find a way

Take me by the hand

The only thing I ask of you

Is please for once just listen too

And talk to me before

Before it＇s really over

Talk to me

Before it＇s really over
