Talk to Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, every night I see a light shine in your window
And every night you don't answer when I come knockin' at your door
Your daddy won't ever let me in
And I see from the street your silhouette sittin' close to him
What must I do, what does it take to get you to

[Chorus]
Oh, talk to me
Well, until the night's over?
Hey, little girl won't you talk to me
Well, until the night's over?
Yeah yeah, I got a full week's pay
And baby I've been workin' hard each day
I'm not asking for the world, you see
I'm just asking girl
Talk to me

[Verse 2]
Well now, late at night I hear the music softly playin'
And late at night I see the two of you softly swayin'
I don't understand darlin', what was my sin?
Why am I down here below your arms are open to him?
What did I do, what did I say, what must I pay to get you to

[Chorus]
Talk to me
Well, until the night's over?
Little girl, won’t you talk to me
Just until it's all over?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, I got a full week's pay
And baby I've been workin' hard each day
I'm not asking for the world you see
I'm just asking darlin'
Talk to me (Alright)
[Verse 2]
I don't understand darlin', what was my sin?
Why am I down here below and your arms are open to him?
What did I do, what did I say, what must I pay to get you to

[Chorus]
Talk to me
Just until the night's over?
Little girl, won't you talk to me
Well, until the night's over?
Yeah yeah yeah, I got a full week's pay
And baby, I've been workin' hard each day
I'm not asking for the world you see
Oh I'm just, well, I'm just asking darlin' please
And baby, I'm down on my knees
To get you to talk to me
Well, until the night's over
Little girl, won't you talk to me
Until it's all over?
Come on darlin' and talk to me
Well, until it's all over
Little girl, won't you talk to me
Well, until it's all over?

[Outro]
Well it's all, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, sad, sad, yeah
Oh oh (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Oh, talk to me
Until it's all over
Come on and talk to me
Until it's all over
Talk to me
Until it's all over
My, my baby
I gotta know

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
