Story Behind The Song

I was courting a girl earlier in life who, for one lonely month, wouldn't even talk to me. (The situation eventually turned around!)

Song Description

A frustrated lover's lament that his would-be paramour won't even give him the time of day. Sounds like Randy Newman-meets-Supertramp

Lyrics

Talk To Me

I?d be delighted
if you?d just talk to me sometime
now that?s not really asking a lot
if you?ve got the inclination
for a little conversation
call me, I?ll be right over
with a portable tape recorder

I keep on dreaming
that we made out one time
and I got away with a slip of your tongue
and once, on a desert island
we made love so long and violent
no matter, ?cause when I wake up
and after my smoke and my first cup
I see that it?s all I can do to get words from you

I would be delighted
I would be so delighted
I would be delighted
If you?d just talk to me
yes I would be delighted
?cause you get me so excited
I would be so delighted
if you?d just talk to me

darlin?, I can?t hold on for long
and I?ll break if you lead me on
you?re sayin that I impress ya
well, maybe I just distress ya
just show me a sign when
I finally get through at last?

?cause I would be delighted
I would be so delighted
I would be delighted
If you?d just talk to me
yes I would be delighted
?cause you get me so excited
I would be so delighted
if you?d just talk to me
