The Talking Song Lyrics – Sunny Sandler

The Talking Song Text

---

You know,
I don't even know what people think I'm nice.
It's so hard to read people at school.
Do people say you're nice to be nice or they want to be cool? (I get it)

Maybe think if they say you're nice,(I get it)(I get it)
you'll think they're cool and
you say, I get it a lot.

That's because I understand things, that's all.
I get it.
I've been around.

Okay, I thought it might be something else.

Like what?

That you want me to stop talking?

Oh, wow.

Really?
Like, wow, that's crazy.

No, more like, wow, I didn't think you were that self-aware.
Sorry, please, go ahead.

(Singing)
I like, I always just come out and say whatever's on my mind and like people look okay with it,
but maybe they're resigned, but I can't help say anymore, they may be smile like they're enjoying,
you have no idea how stressful it is to not know what I'm talking, it gets annoying.


I've seen a lot of kids who talk a lot.

(Singing)
They see, so like I just continue talking and it feels like things are fine and then
I relax until I see that look, I take it as a sign that they're mad that
I'm still talking or I'm loud or I'm a fool, so I worry that I've lost them and I'm scared, so I start talking even more.

Sorry, this is normal.

(Singing)
A bunch of kids.I feel like I lack the ability to tell when I'm not giving someone a chance to speak,
and because of that I get scared and then believe that I'm in fact not giving anyone else a chance to speak.


I said I get it.
I know I said I get it again.
I'm sorry.
It's just that last one wasn't even the rhyme, it was the repeat.

(Singing)
So like you're comfortable in sharing, because your parents let you prattle.

Well, they don't really like.

(Singing)
But you shouldn't feel self-conscious, like you're in a losing battle.

Okay, but then how am I going to?

(Singing)
Try to ask a question.

Ask a question?

(Singing)
It's exhausting, like a blink.
But the kids who are most popular are the kids who want to know what other kids think.
