I’m Not Talking (original) Songtext
von The Yardbirds

EP version

I′m not talking,
Well that's what I got to say.
I 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 what I got to say.
Things I say at midnight,
I ain′t gonna say 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 what I got to say.
Things I say at midnight,
I ain't gonna say 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 what 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 what 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 what 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 what 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.
