Lyrics
He called me up in the middle of the middle of the night
I was so tired, and I didn't want to argue and fight
But I listened to him and the things that he said
Made no sense to me, drove me out of my head -- and then I said --
Stop talking
Let me have my say
Stop talking
You're the one who started this today
Stop talking ....
I tried to reason with him, nothing but a big mistake
He took everything wrong and made my head just ache
He didn't understand a single word that I had said,
Kept shouting in my ear I was messing with his head - and then I said --
CHORUS
Now listen here baby, what I'm telling you
Stop shouting at me honey or we are through
Now listen here baby, ain't no point in going on
If anything I say is just gonna be wrong
CHORUS
Before I hung up I said baby better take some time
To get a handle on that anger before it messes up your mind
Can't show you how I feel on the telephone
Got to look you in the eyes tell you you're not alone -- I said then
FINAL CHORUS
Stop talking
Am I making it clear
Stop talking
Come on now baby, and get on over here
Stop talking ....
Stop talking... (3x)
