Don't Speak In English lyrics

Yes we can just talk it out

Tell me what it's all about

Just don't speak in English

You can just let it flow

Get it right from your soul

But honey don't say words that I understand

Because I've had enough

Of that kind of stuff

For a long, long time.

You can tell me where to go

Tell what I don't know

But don't speak in English

And you can talk politics

Get your political fix

But don't say words that I understand

Because I've had enough

Of that kind of stuff

For a long, long time.

You can let the telephone ring

Don't pass me that thing

I am not a receiver.

You can play the music you choose

Western swing or Delta blues

Where the wasted words are few

And old John Prine will do

We'll just talk for a while.

You can let the telephone ring

Don't pass me that thing

I am not a receiver.

You can play the music you choose

Western swing or Delta blues

Where the wasted words are few

And old van Zandt will do

Maybe two

And we'll just talk for a while.

And when we talk it out

You tell me what it's all about

Just don't speak in English

And if you get it in your head

That you want to take me to bed

Just don't say words that I understand

Because I've had enough

Of that kind of stuff

For a long, long time.

Because I've had enough

Of that kind of stuff

For a long, long, long,

long time.
