Lyrics Michael McDonald

Michael McDonald

Lonely Talk

From a promise to a lie

From lies to regret

Turn your back on truth baby

And that's always what you get

A man could drown in a love so deep baby

I'm not beggin' you to stay

It's just lonely talk

You don't hear a word I say

You just turn and walk away baby

If I'm on my knees and prayin'

To the lord above

When he listens to my prayer

He knows that it's just lonely talk

Well, I call your name

And I cry all night

Well, it's of no concern to you baby

Now that I'm out of your sight

A man could drown in a love so deep baby
