Lyrics
I see you laughing right in my face
I guess I'm going to have to put you in your place
Because if silence was golden
You couldn't raise a dime
Because your mind is on vacation
And your mouth is working overtime
You're quoting figures and dropping names
You're telling stories about the dames
You're over-laughing when things ain't funny
You're trying to sound like you're the big money, honey
If talk was criminal
You'd lead a life of crime
Because your mind is on vacation
And your mouth is working overtime
Life is short, talk is cheap
Don't go making promises that you can't keep
If you don't like this little song I'm singing
Just grin and bear it
All I can say is if the red shoe fits, wear it
If you must keep talking, please try to make it rhyme
Because your mind is on vacation
And your mouth is working overtime
I see you laughing right in my face
I guess I'm going to have to put you in your place
Because if talk was criminal
You'd lead a life of crime
Because your mind is on vacation
And your mouth is working overtime
