I was drinkin' in a loud Hot'lanta honky tonk
When I saw her standin' in the crowd alone
I can't forget the night I met that quiet woman
Somethin' about her sure did turn me on
But she gave me the silent treatment all night long
I started once or twice to strike up a conversation
I gave it my best shot, but I struck out
She never said a word 'til I started leavin'
And then she said, "Stick around, boy, you'll find out
What this silent treatment is all about"
"You see, some things are better left unspoken
Some things are best said silently"
A-hoo, and it was so beautiful
What she said to me
It just goes to show that you can't go on first impressions
Quietly she showed me I was wrong, so wrong
I really learned a lot, it was a revelation
The night that quiet woman took me home
And gave me that silent treatment all night long
She gave me that silent treatment and it's alright
You can give me that silent treatment every night
Whoa yeah
