Standing here on my own side

Waitin' Fo' the floor

Your world's movin' fast

But still ends up a bore

Come on give me a little room na

Do you have to take it all

Yeah that's the way it is I guess

Then you're born with nothin' at all

Uh- Uh- Uh- Uh- Uh- Uh- Uh

I wanna talk to you

Hey boy don't feel my world's untrue

Yeah, I wanna talk to you

My world can be true

I wanna talk to you

Pick up my life at the table

Read about the way I could be

But I know I just ain't able

So I read about the real me

Who can I blame

For the way I am

I ain't never had one soul to help me

So I don't give a.......

Uh- Uh- Uh- Uh- Uh- Uh- Uh

Watch that boy, watch that

I heard you thinkin'

I wanna talk to you

Don't feel my world's untrue

Yeah, boy I wanna talk to you

My world can be true

But you gotta find out what to do

I wanna talk to you sonny beau

Gotta woman that lov' me

Feed me beans ev'ry night

Twelve babies look up at me

Wid Big grey hungry eyes

Oh but I just can't complain

You see ya, said I ain't allowed

Oh but pretty soon will come a change

When I gain the biggest mouth

Uh- Uh- Uh- Uh- Uh- Uh- Uh

I wanna talk to you

Don't feel my world's untrue

Yeah boy , I wanna talk to you

My world can be true

I'm a show you what to do

I wanna talk to you

Hey don't wanna talk to you

What you mean by that boy

I don't wanna talk to you

I recognize you as being a human being

I've been listening to you for 250 thousand years

I called you Steve when you were amongst my friends

Don't wanna talk to you

You can have dinner with me next week
