Talk Is Cheap Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm alone, it’s just me, and I’m watching TV
And I’m always, oh so bored at home
I get up, I get out
Drive my car way downtown
Keep on calling, but you're never around
See my friends out tonight under these city lights
In the club 'til someone starts a fight
And we get in the car
Still don't know where you are
I'm so pissed off, always hanging around

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I’m so tired
You’re fired

[Chorus]
I’m so jealous, restless, relentless
That’s just me
I'm so crazy lately, come on, let it be
Don't make me beg for the things I need
You know what they say
Where there’s a will, there’s a way
Lies are free, talk is cheap

[Verse 2]
Now we're out in the street, and we're sweating the heat
And we move with the traffic and the beat
I don’t care if you choke when you light up your smoke
It’s the one thing I can call my own
[Pre-Chorus 2]
It's so tragic
I'm so manic

[Chorus]
I’m so jealous, restless, relentless
That’s just me
I'm so crazy lately, come on, let it be
Don't make me beg for the things I need
You know what they say
Where there’s a will, there’s a way
Lies are free, talk is cheap

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I’m so tired
You’re fired

[Chorus]
I’m so jealous, restless, relentless
That’s just me
I'm so crazy lately, come on, let it be
Don't make me beg for the things I need
You know what they say
Where there’s a will there’s a way
Lies are free, talk is cheap
[Outro]
Talk is cheap
Yeah, lies are free and talk is cheap

  • 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 [?]
