It's just your jive talkin'. You're telling me lies, yeah.
Jive talkin', you wear a disguise.
Jive talkin', so misunderstood, yeah.
Jive talkin', you?re really no good.
Oh, my child, you'll never know
Just what you mean to me.
Oh, my child, you got so much;
You're gonna take away my energy.
With all your jive talkin', you're telling me lies, yeah.
Good lovin' still gets in my eyes.
Nobody believes what you say.
It's just your jive talkin' that gets in the way.
(Bridge)
Oh, my love, you're so good at treating me so cruel.
There you go with your fancy lies,
Leavin' me lookin' like a dumbstruck fool.
With all your jive talkin', you're telling me lies, yeah.
Jive talkin', you wear a disguise.
Jive talkin', so misunderstood, yeah.
Jive talkin', you just ain't no good.
You know now, love talkin' is all very fine, yeah.
Jive talkin' just isn't a crime.
And if there's somebody you'll love till you die,
Then all that jive talkin' just gets in your eye.
