Talk To Him by Squeeze

(difford/tilbrook)

Give me a plate and i'd break it
Show me a smile and i'd cry
Give me your love and i'd hate it
Tell me the truth and i'd lie
Give me a crust and i'd burn it
Show me the way and i'd shout
Give me a page and i'd turn it
Well you could never put me down

Misunderstood like a cockroach
(as tasty as a crab)
Who just tries to live for the day
(my world's on my back)
People won't need to be frightened
(as frightened as i am)
Excepting i was born this way
Don't sweep me under the carpet
(tomorrow i'll be there)
Don't file me away for my sins
(there's some i can repair)
Friends are now beginning to say
(so pleased with their despair)
How come i don't talk to him
I didn't talk to him

Give me an egg and i'd suck it
Show me the sun and i'd freeze
Give me a nest and some honey
Keep all the birds and the bees, please
Helplessness under my wing
People said don't talk to him
