Lesson transcript
Tired of Talking
You talking so much,
you're making me tired.
Mason woman, you talking so much,
you're making me tired.
You got this handful of gimme,
but ooh, your mouth full of multiples.
Chorus
One thing, do another,
one to turn my back.
Decide one thing, do another,
one or turn my back.
Got this calm game on love,
but I ain't going for that.
I'm gonna find me a country girl,
do just what she said.
Verse
I'm gonna try me,
do just what she said.
I'm gonna leave you, baby,
I got to leave your game play.
I'm gon'...
I've got to leave your game play.
You talking so much,
you made me tired.
Big city woman,
you talk so much,
you make me tired.
You got this hand to forgive me,
but yeah, your mouth full of mud.
Blind, you got this handful to give me,
but your mouth full of mud's blind.
There, that's a big city woman.
