It's just your jive talkin'
You're telling me lies, yeah
Jive talkin', you wear a disguise
Jive talkin', so misunderstood, yeah
Jive talkin', youâre really no good
Oh, my child, you'll never know
Just what you mean to me
Oh, my child, you got so much;
You're gonna take away my energy.
With all your jive talkin', you're telling me lies, yeah
Good lovin' still gets in my eyes
Nobody believes what you say
It's just your jive talkin' that gets in the way
Oh, my love, you're so good at treating me so cruel
There you go with your fancy lies,
Leavin me lookin' like a dumbstruck fool.
With all your jive talkin', you're telling me lies, yeah
Jive talkin', you wear a disguise
Jive talkin', so misunderstood, yeah
Jive talkin', you just ain't no good
You know now, love talkin' is all very fine, yeah
Jive talkin' just isn't a crime
And if there's somebody you'll love till you die,
Then all that jive talkin' just gets in your eye
Jive talkin', you're telling me lies, yeah
Good lovin' still gets in my eyes
Nobody believes what you say
It's just your jive talkin' that gets in the way
You know now, love talkin' is all very fine, yeah
Jive talkin' just isn't a crime
And if there's somebody you'll love till you die,
Then all that jive talkin' just gets in your eye.
Ooh, jive talkin', jive talkinâ, ooh, jive talkin'.
