"Talk Back Trembling Lips" Lyrics

(John D. Loudermilk)

Talk back trembling lips, shaky legs don't just stand there
Don't let her know she's gettin' through to you
Talk back trembling lips, burning eyes don't start crying
Heart don't let her know that you're breaking in two.

Everyday our love's a battle royal,
Seems that fighting's all we ever do
But if I let you know how much I love you
You'll do things to me you shouldn't do.

Talk back trembling lips, shaky legs don't just stand there
Don't let her know she's gettin' through to you
Talk back trembling lips, burning eyes don't start crying
Heart don't let her know that you're breaking in two.

Everytime you up and hurt my feelings
I pretend it couldn't matter less
I'm just hiding all of my emotions
Behind the broken heart I guess.

Talk back trembling lips, shaky legs don't just stand there
Don't let her know she's gettin' through to you
Talk back trembling lips, burning eyes don't start crying
Heart don't let her know that you're breaking in two.

Heart don't let her know that you're breaking in two...
