Don’t Talk About Me

[Verse 1: Raphael Saadiq]
I had a girl that I used to see
She's precious and so sweet
Like Velcro she was attached to me, uh-huh
20 hours outta 24
She's always knocking at my door
So I said, "Hey baby, I need some room to breathe"

[Pre-Chorus: Raphael Saadiq]
Peacefully, we go our separate ways
But then like the critics, she had something to say

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Oh, girl, talk about the good times
Talk about bad times
Don't talk about me
Oh, girl, talk about the good times
Talk about the bad times
But don't talk about me, oh

[Verse 2: Raphael Saadiq]
Funny how you accuse me of something (Yeah)
That I know nothing about (Woo)
Never said I was engaged to you, uh-huh
I never promised you a rose garden (Woo)
Only said that we could go out (Yeah)
Now you're telling your friends I'm hard on you

[Pre-Chorus: Raphael Saadiq]
Peacefully, we go our separate ways
And just like the critic, she always had something to say

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
Oh, talk about good times
Talk about bad times
But don't talk about me
(Don't talk about, don't talk about...)
Oh, girl, talk about the good times
Talk about bad times
But don't talk about me
(Don't talk about me, girl)
Oh, girl, talk about the good times
Talk about bad times
But don't talk about me
(Don't, don't talk about me)
Oh, girl, talk about the good times
Talk about bad times
But don't talk about me
(Don't talk about me, girl) Oh

[Bridge: D'Wayne Wiggins]
Ooh, baby, I wanna talk to you, you see
You and me don't have to be like enemies, girl

[Pre-Chorus: Raphael Saadiq]
So I called you just to clear the air
Just like the news, reports of me are everywhere

[Outro: Tony! Toni! Toné!, Raphael Saadiq]
Oh, girl, talk about the good times
(Talk about the good times, yeah)
Talk about bad times
But don't talk about me
(Don't talk about me, girl)
Oh, girl, talk about the good times
(Talk about the good times)
Talk about bad times
But don't talk about me
(Don't talk about me)
Oh, girl, talk about the good times
Talk about bad times
But don't talk about me
(Don't talk about, don't talk about me)
Oh, girl, talk about the good times
Talk about bad times
But don't talk about me
(Don't talk about, don't talk about...)
Oh, girl, talk about the good times
(Talk about the good times)
Talk about bad times
(Talk about the bad times)
But don't talk about me
(Don't talk about, don't talk about me)
Oh, girl, talk about the good times
Talk about bad times
But don't talk about me
(Don't talk about me)
Oh, girl, talk about the good times
(Talk about the good times, girl)
Talk about bad times (Don't talk about...)
But don't talk about me
(Don't talk about, don't talk about the bad times)
Oh, girl, talk about the good times
Talk about bad times (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
But don't talk about me (Hoo, hoo, hahahaha)
Girl, talk about the good times
Talk about the bad times
But don't talk about me
