We could talk about the birds

And we could talk about the bees

Talk about any subject in the whole world that you please

Any topic you might be thinking of

Well, I'll talk about anything but

Let's Not Talk About Love

 

We could talk about tonight

And what we're going to do

And how you're going to feel when I confabulate with you

Skies the limit, my turtledove

Well, I'll talk about anything but

Let's Not Talk About Love

 

We could talk about the Red Sox

And how they're gonna win

We could talk about the Lazarushian leather Gunga Din

Talk about the weather

Whether or not we do

Don't talk about commitment

That's taboo, too.

 

We could have a conversation

Talk about this or that

Have a serious discussion or simply light chit chat

Any matter under the sky above

Well, I'll talk about anything but

Let's Not Talk About Love

 

We could talk about the Red Sox

And how they used to choke

We could talk about the consequence of second hand smoke

Talk about AARP or NRBQ

But don't talk about commitment

That's taboo, too.

 

We could talk in verse

We could talk in rhyme

Discuss Steven Hawkings' Brief History of Time

But, when push, honey bunny, comes to shove

Well, I'll talk about anything but

Let's Not Talk About Love
