Squeeze - Talk to Him lyrics

(Difford/Tilbrook)

Give me a plate and I'd break it

Show me a smile and I'd cry

Give me your love and I'd hate it

Tell me the truth and I'd lie

Give me a crust and I'd burn it

Show me the way and I'd shout

Give me a page and I'd turn it

Well you could never put me down

Misunderstood like a cockroach

(As tasty as a crab)

Who just tries to live for the day

(My world's on my back)

People won't need to be frightened

(As frightened as I am)

Excepting I was born this way

Don't sweep me under the carpet

(Tomorrow I'll be there)

Don't file me away for my sins

(There's some I can repair)

Friends are now beginning to say

(So pleased with their despair)

How come I don't talk to him

I didn't talk to him

Give me an egg and I'd suck it

Show me the sun and I'd freeze

Give me a nest and some honey

Keep all the birds and the bees, please

Helplessness under my wing

People said don't talk to him
