Silence, Silence

Something’s on my mind that I wanna tell you right away.
Something’s been teasing me and upsetting me most of, most of the day,
I been upset, I said, I can’t take it any more, and I mean everything I say,
I’ll carry this dark, dark, darkness, darkness to the grave,
unless you tell me that you love me too,
like I love you. It’s simple
I wanna be loved, I wanna be loved, I wanna be with you.
Don’t go to the office in the morning without a smile.
I’ll, I can’t wait the whole world, I can’t even wait a while, ha.
I’m desperate, I’m, er, desperate.
I’m clinging to the sheets in the morning. I got no way to go,
I go down to the grocery store, they say
oh there’s something wrong, your watch is awfully slow,
I said it’s my heart. My heart’s fallin’ apart right in front of you,
they said, that’s not right you’re shiverin’ and shakin’ right down to your shoes.
I said, she don’t talk to me like she used to talk to me.
She don’t even walk with me like she wanted to walk with me,
she says I’m just a bad man, she says I’m a disease, aha,
I don’t like it, change your ways please.
So if I have, have to put up with this much any more, I’ll,
I’ll shiver and shake and…ah! I’ll fall to the floor.
I, I can’t get my words, I can’t get my words out, can’t get my words out.
I, I’m lost without you, lost without you, can’t even find my way home.
I, I’m looking for a brand-new way,
a smile that opens up your weary, dreary face.
Love lingers and it’s under my skin.
I blame you for the shape I’m in
I blame you.
Ah! Monday, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday all the same,
can’t even remember my birthday, now what is my real name?
I’m callin’ myself names into the mirror, I stare, I stare rather hard.
I wonder, who’s that beside me holding a, a big yellow card?
It says, get a lover like you used to do,
don’t let all this upsetting, don’t let it spoil the truth
that she’s yours and she’ll be yours forever more.
If you don’t love her you’ll be very poor, you’ll have nothing.
You’ll have nothing. You’ll have nothing, that’s what they say.
You’ll have nothing. Nothing will go your way.
You’ll be lost, you’ll be found. Lost and found again.
You’ll be the loneliest man in the avenue, a truly solitary man.

Give in now, tell her what you feel,
don’t let your chauvinistic attitudes make you rock and reel.
You can’t take it, you can’t take it, you can’t make it this way.
You got to tell her you love her one of these days.

Silence is no good to you. Silence is no good to you. Silence is no good to you. Silence.
You got to tell her the truth. She’s yours.
Silence is no good to you. Shh, shh.
