===The Gift of Gab #11===
<poem>
<poem>I'm getting stuck in tough conversations
I'm in broke conversations
'Bout what my plan is, and how the band is
'bout what my plans is
They keep on talking, talking, all this insanity
And how the band is
I'm feeling pressured, don't need a lecture
They keep on talking, talking all this insanity
I only wanna have a real communion
I'm feeling pressure
But I don't know how I can reach out to him
Don't need a lecture
I only wanna have a real communion  
But I don't know if I can reach out to him


I just wanna be friends, but I simply don't have
The gift of gab, oh, the gift of gab
I just wanna be friends but I simply don't have
I just wanna be friends but I simply don't have
The gift of gab
The gift of gab, oh, the gift of gab
Oh, the gift of gab
I just wanna be friends but I simply don't have
The gift of gab
Oh, the gift of gab
No I do not have
No I do not have
The gift of gab
The gift of gab


Then I bring up that controversial article
Then I bring up that controversial article
So many women  
So many women can't have everything
Can't have that ????
The heat is rising as they're sharing their viewpoints
The heat is rising as they're sharing their viewpoints
That such a high cost
There's such a high cost, futures have been lost
Futures have been lost
And then they ask me what I think about it
And then they ask me what I think about it
The truth is that I'm scared to 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, oh, the gift of gab
I just wanna be friends but I simply don't have
I just wanna be friends but I simply don't have
The gift of gab
The gift of gab, oh, the gift of gab
Oh, the gift of gab
I just wanna be friends but I simply don't have
The gift of gab
Oh, the gift of gab
No I do not have
No I do not have
The gift of gab
The gift of gab


All I wanna do
All I wanna do is hang around with you
Is hang around with you
Never have to prove anything to you
Never have to prove
Anything to you
Yeah!
Yeah!


I just wanna be friends, but I simply don't have
The gift of gab, oh, the gift of gab
I just wanna be friends but I simply don't have
I just wanna be friends but I simply don't have
The gift of gab
The gift of gab, oh, the gift of gab
Oh, the gift of gab
I just wanna be friends but I simply don't have
The gift of gab
Oh, the gift of gab
No I do not have
No I do not have
The gift of gab
The gift of gab
