Lyrics
The Gift of Gab (ver. 11)
I'm getting stuck in dull conversations
'Bout what my plan is
And how the band is
They keep on talking, talking all this insanity
I'm feeling pressured
Don't need a lecture
I only wanna have a real communion
But I don't know how I can reach out to ya
I just wanna be friends
But I simply don't have
The gift of gab
Ah, the gift of gab
I just wanna be friends
But I simply don't have
The gift of gab
Ah, the gift of gab
No, I do not have
The gift of gab
Then I bring up that controversial article
So many women
Can't have everything
The heat is rising as they're sharing their viewpoints
There's such a high cost
Futures have been lost
And then they ask me what I think about it
The truth is that I'm scared to think about it
I just wanna be friends
But I simply don't have
The gift of gab
Ah, the gift of gab
I just wanna be friends
But I simply don't have
The gift of gab
Ah, the gift of gab
No, I do not have
The gift of gab
All I wanna do
Is hang around with you
Never have to prove
Anything to you
Yeah!
I just wanna be friends
But I simply don't have
The gift of gab
Ah, the gift of gab
I just wanna be friends
But I simply don't have
The gift of gab
Ah, the gift of gab
No, I do not have
The gift of gab
