Don't Talk To Me Lyrics - Mondo Bongo - Boomtown Rats

You don't have to be afraid 

You just have to make the leap of fate 

I'm not thinking in quantum jumps 

No I think in lines but I speak in lumps 

When you say those things it seems so crude 

Do you think you're clever ah you're so rude 

Please don't talk to me when I'm talking to you 

Don't talk to me when I'm talking to you 

You're mouth's wide open and it don't become you 

Now there's no need you don't have to be ashamed 

I'm left standing in the shade 

I say one thing, you say another 

I've got insurance, I'm well covered 

You seem so real but you feel so fake 

I got it made when I'm on the make 

Please don't talk to me when I'm talking to you 

Don't talk to me when I'm talking to you 

You're mouth's wide open and it don't become you 

I keep feelin' I've been framed 

You stitch me up now I'm tailor made 

Time moves slow and I feel sick 

Then you toss and turn stay up all night 

Then you say those things and I don't know why 

Please don't talk to me when I'm talking to you 

Don't talk to me when I'm talking to you 

You're mouth's wide open and it don't become you
