“Let’s Not Talk About Love”    by William Thompson (words and music) 

Verse one

Let’s not talk about love, let’s just see what happens.

Your words came to my mind, while I watched you nappin’.

It’s something I felt, but not of which we’re speakin’.

Let’s not talk about love, a feeling to myself, I’m keeping.

Verse two

Let’s not talk about love, a subject we’ve avoided.

Let’s not talk about love, if it makes you feel exploited.

It’s not the words we say, but feelings of the heart.

Let’s not talk about love, though I felt from the start. 

Chorus

So many times, when I was close to you.

The words almost passed my lips.

I recall you sayin’ the subject was taboo

Bit down so hard and bled as not to slip. 

Verse three

Let’s not talk about love, lingers like smoke in the air.

Let’s not talk about love, keep pretending it’s not there.

Who we tryin’ to kid, it’s the elephant in the room

We won’t talk about love, a talk that can never come too soon. 

Bridge

Scream it from the roof top when you’re far away

Write a song about it, you won’t hear me play

But I love you, I knew.

Just talkin’ to myself, so there’s nothin’ you can do. 

Verse four

We don’t talk about love, somehow that don’t seem right.

Let’s not talk about love, though we make it every night.

The way you look at me absent love can’t be explained.

We won’t talk about love, I’ll keep playing your foolish game. 

Chorus

So many times, when I was close to you.

The words almost passed my lips.

I recall you sayin’ the subject was taboo

Bit down so hard and bled as not to slip. 

Verse five

Let’s not talk about love, you say it may spoil what we have.

But someday I’ll have to say it, willing to take the chance.

If you can’t bear to hear it, a truth that must be said.

Let’s talk about the reasons I cherish you instead.  X2
