Lyrics John Wetton

John Wetton

Paper Talk

I've seen your diamond ring

Shining across the room

Illuminating everything

You're such a star, you know you are, you are

And you've got no time for me

I'm not one you want to see

Your role in society

Dictates to you, a busy man, you've things to do

I understand, but when I call, you're off the wall, you

are

Paper talk is all I get from you

Paper talk all the way

Paper talk it could be baby talk

Paper talk all the way

The man brings champagne for you

You don't have to tell him to

He does, he's expected to

It's the thing to do, for the man of means, you are

And you talk too fast for me

You don't understand ability

Your game is monopoly

The family tree, dates back to when, your pedigree

Betrays to me, those promises, never to be, again

Paper talk is all I get from you

Paper talk all the way

Paper talk it could be baby talk

Paper talk all the way

Your watch is from Cartier

And time's the only price you pay

To me, living day by day

Your noble chin explains to me

Your blue eyes belie insincerity and I despise

The pointless lies, you tell
