And I whisper to you sister
Take no notice of me baby
Are the words I wanna hear
I'm half dead, a quarter alive
Words, those words of wonder
Are the words I wanna hear
Those words, the words of wonder
They are the words I wanna hear
Yeah, that's the way it goes
Now that your talkin' to me baby
Still you say that I'm obscene
They are the words I wanna hear
Words, those words of wonder
Are the words I wanna hear
The words, these are words of wonder
These are the words you better learn
These are words, these words of wonder
These are words, you ought to know
You been talkin' to me sweetie
You know I babble on and on
Ooh, I run away my tongue
Giving thanks and praises
Low friends in high places
I'm gonna whisper these words of wonder
