Words and Music by Rick Nielsen
You talk too much
You talk too much
You talk too much to me
Dear father, don't mother me
Dear mother, don't bother me
If I ever needed your advice, oh
I would have called you on the telephone
I've been wrong maybe once or twice
And that's when I was listenin' to you
You talk too much
You talk too much
You talk too much to me
Dear preacher, you won't reach me
Dear teacher, don't preach to me
If I ever needed your advice, oh
I would have called you on the telephone
I've only been wrong maybe once or twice
And that's when I was listenin' to you
Oh, shut up!
You talk too much
You talk too much
You talk too much, oh yeah
