I don't want to Talk about it.

10 October, 2009

This beautiful song was written by Danny Whitten and was a big hit for Scottish singer Rod Stewart back in the 1970's. It was covered (recorded) again in 1988 by British band 'Everything but the Girl.' Here they are performing it. Don't mind the bad fashion, just enjoy the song.

I don't want to talk about it.

I can tell by your that you've prob'bly been cryin' ,
and the stars in the don't mean nothin' to you, they're a .
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my .
If I stay here just a little bit ,
If I stay here, won't you to my heart, whoa, heart?

If I stand all , will the shadow hide the of my heart;
for the tears, for the night's fears.
The stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror.
I don't want to talk about it, how you my heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke this ol' heart.

If I stay here just a little bit longer,
if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
My heart, whoa, heart.

Vocab help

Notice how some of the words are abbreviated, like 'nothin' and 'prob'bly' this is to help the rhythm. ol' is a short version of old.

Tears - Water from your eyes when you cry.

Fear - The noun from afraid or frightened.

Shadow - An area of darkness, caused by light being blocked by something

Whoa - Doesn't really mean anything, it just helps the song.
