Text: Rodney Crowell. Houston Kid. Why Don't We Talk About It.

Why don?t we talk about it- Rodney Crowell
Once I had a woman with a high-head
And I let her treat me mighty low-men
She made a lover of my best friend
And now he treats me like a haz-ben

Yes! I?ve had my trouble with the world around me
NO! I didn?t give it my best
Now! I get a chance to see some better whether
If you wanna stay forever
Why don?t we talk about it now?

Yes my reputation says I?m flaky
Hey my whole situation?s kinda shaky
Some people around here think I?ve lost it
They drew the line, I stepped a-cross it

Yes! I?ve had my troubles in some certain circles
No! I didn?t bring it on myself
Now! I get a chance to move and if there was
And if you don?t care what you?ve heard
Why don?t we talk about it now?


Sometimes I make it up all in my head
There?s a whole lot of things that should?ve never been said
This new ground feels solid that I?m standing on

I have done some things that might a-maze you
But then again most things don't even, faze you
You gotta way of standing stead fast
And I?ve gotta way of running dead last

Yes! I?ve had my trouble tryin? to start all over
No! I didn?t give it all I could
Now! I get a chance to know what love can heal
And if you wanna know the feeling
Why don?t we talk about it now?

If you wanna know the feeling
Why don?t we talk about it now?
