[Verse 1]
I don't care about candy or roses
That come all wrapped up in ribbons and bows
I'm not impressed by "a fool and his money"
Who'll keep me wrapped up in diamonds and furs
Give me a man who knows what to say
In the heat of the night
When the moment is right
I need a lover who will whisper in my ear
And tell me all the things
That I'm longing to hear, yeah
[Chorus]
You can keep your money, boy, that's alright
It's the sweet talk, baby, that I like
You drive a fancy car, and that's real nice
But it's sweet talk, baby, that keeps me satisfied
[Verse 2]
I'm not looking for Wining and dining
Exclusive nights on the town ain't my thing
All I need is a thrill of conversation
Don't wanna ride in your black limousine
Give me a man who knows what to say
In the heat of thе night
When the moment is right
I need a lovеr who will whisper in my ear
And tell me all the things
That I'm longing to hear, yeah
[Chorus]
You can keep your money, boy, that's alright
It's the sweet talk, baby, that I like
You drive a fancy car, and that's real nice
But it's sweet talk, baby, that keeps me satisfied
Go Narada! Go Narada! Yeah! Yeah!
[Bridge]
I like it, I love it, got to have that sweet talk
Need it day and night
Keeps me satisfied
I need it, I want it, baby talk that talk!
'Cause if you can't sweet talk, then you might as well walk!
Give me a man who knows what to say
In the heat of the night
When the moment is right
I need a lover who will whisper in my ear
And tell me all the things
That I'm longing to hear
[Chorus]
You can keep your money, boy, that's alright
It's the sweet talk, baby, that I like
You drive a fancy car, and that's real nice
But it's sweet talk, baby, that keeps me satisfied
You can keep it
It's alright
Got to have that sweet talk
I like it
Drive that fancy car
It's real nice
