"Don't Talk About Me" lyrics - TONY! TONI! TONE!

TONY! TONI! TONE!
"Don't Talk About Me"
(David Foster / Denzil Foster / Thomas McElroy / Susan Verdejo)

[Verse 1: Raphael Saadiq]
I had a girl that I used to see
She's precious and so sweet
Like Velcro she was attached to me, uh-huh
20 hours outta 24
She's always knocking at my door
So I said, "Hey baby, I need some room to breathe"

[Pre-Chorus:]
Please believe, we'll go our separate ways
Then like the critics, she had something to say

[Chorus:]
Girl, talk about the good times
Talk about bad times
Don't talk about me
Girl, talk about the good times
Talk about the bad times
But don't talk about me, oh

[Verse 2: Raphael Saadiq]
Funny how you accuse me of something
That I know nothing about
Never said I was engaged to you, uh-huh
I never promised you a rose garden
Only said that we could go out
Now you're telling your friends I'm hard on you

[Pre-Chorus:]
Please believe, we'll go our separate ways
And just like the critic, she always had something to say

[Chorus:]
Talk about good times
Talk about bad times
But don't talk about me
(Don't talk about, don't talk about...)
Girl, talk about good times
Talk about bad times
But don't talk about me
(Don't talk about me, girl)
Girl, talk about good times
Talk about bad times
But don't talk about me
(Don't, don't talk about me)
Girl, talk about good times
Talk about bad times
But don't talk about me
(Don't talk about me, girl)

[Bridge:]
Ooh, baby, I wanna talk to you, you see
You and me don't have to be like enemies, girl
So I called you just to clear the air
Just like the news, reports of me are everywhere

[Chorus:]
Girl, talk about the good times
(Talk about the good times, yeah)
Talk about bad times
But don't talk about me
(Don't talk about me, girl)
Girl, talk about the good times
(Talk about the good times)
Talk about bad times
But don't talk about me
(Don't talk about me)
Girl, talk about the good times
Talk about bad times
Don't talk about me
(Don't talk about, don't talk about me)
Girl, talk about the good times
Talk about bad times
Don't talk about me
(Don't talk about, don't talk about...)
Girl, talk about the good times
(Talk about the good times)
Talk about bad times
(Talk about the bad times)
Don't talk about me
(Don't talk about, don't talk about me)
Girl, talk about the good times
Talk about bad times
Don't talk about me
(Don't talk about me)
Girl, talk about the good times
(Talk about the good times, girl)
Talk about bad times (Don't talk about...)
Don't talk about me
(Don't talk about, don't talk about the bad times)
Girl, talk about the good times
Talk about bad times
Don't talk about me
Girl, talk about the good times
Talk about bad times
Don't talk about me
