It's just your jive talkin' telling me lies, yeah,

jve talkin' you wear a disguise,

jive talkin' so misunderstood, yeah,

jive talkin' you're really no good.

 

Oh, my child, you'll never know

just what you mean to me.

Oh, my child, you got so much,

you gonna take away my energy.

 

With all your jive talkin' telling me lies, yeah,

good loving still gets in my eyes.

Nobody believes what you say,

it's just your jive talkin' that gets in the way.

 

Oh, my love, you're so good,

treating me so cruel.

There you go with your fancy lies,

leaving me looking like a dumb struck fool,

 

with all your

jive talkin' telling me lies, yeah,

jive talkin' you wear a disguise,

jive talkin' so misunderstood, yeah,

jive talkin' you just ain't no good.

 

You know that

love talkin' is all very fine, yeah,

jive talkin' just isn't a crime.

And if there's somebody you'll love till you die

then all that jive talkin' just gets in your eye.

And if there's somebody you'll love till you die

then all that jive talkin' just gets in your eye, yeah, yeah.

 

Oh jive talkin', jive talkin'...
