I'm Not Talking Lyrics - Yardbirds

EP version 

I'm not talking, 

Well that's all I got to say. 

Used to think I knew it, 

Man I sure outgrew it. 

Things like idle chatter, 

Ain't the things that matter, 

That's one thing I can do without. 

I'm not talking, 

Well that's all I got to say. 

Things I say at midnight, 

I ain't gonna say 'em in daylight. 

I reached the final conclusion, 

And all this persecution, 

Don't call me, baby, I'll call you. 

I'm not talking, 

Well that's all I got to say. 

Things I say at midnight, 

I ain't gonna say 'em in daylight. 

I reached the final conclusion, 

And all this persecution, 

That's one thing I can do without. 

I'm not talking, 

Well that's all I got to say. 

If I said things were awful, 

It might just be unlawful. 

If I said things were splendid, 

You might just be offended. 

That's one thing I can do without.

BBC version 

I'm not talking, 

Well that's all I got to say. 

If I said things were splendid, 

Our mom might be offended. 

If I said things were awful, 

It may just be unlawful. 

That's one thing I can do without. 

I'm not talking, 

Well that's all I got to say. 

Used to think I knew it, 

Man I sure outgrew it. 

Things like idle chatter, 

Ain't the things that matter, 

Don't call me baby, I'll call you. 

I'm not talking, 

Well that's all I got to say. 

If I said things at midnight, 

I ain't gonna say 'em in daylight. 

I reached the final conclusion, 

And all this persecution, 

Don't call me, baby, I'll call you.
