There's some information I could offer you
It's a hard-won truth and it gets me through
There's some that label it cheap advice
Or an anti-social fail-safe device
But I'd call it a bargain at twice the price
You might have a honey might care a lot
But you might not know that you're on the spot
Your heart is filling and the feeling swells
You're seeing stars and you're hearing bells
But you can spare yourself some big-time grief
It's my fundamental firm belief
You don't talk about love
You don't talk about love
Now the common wisdom is to be direct
But it'll bring you more trouble than you suspect
All the deepest feeling in your secret heart
Oh, you're gonna lay it out or you're gonna be smart
But you can spare yourself some big-time grief
It's my fundamental firm belief
You don't talk about love
You don't talk about love
Don't give it all away too soon
Let it hide away in it's own cocoon
Bit by bit and spoon by spoon
Gonna grow like a waxing moon
You could list the titles of the books you've read
Detail the path to world peace instead
You could share your knowledge of a former life
Or list the bad habits of your first wife
If you want to avoid some useless strife
You could rank religions by the hats they wear
Mock the wedding of the royal pair
You could spread some rumors you could dish some dirt
You could show her the label on your new shirt
But you can spare yourself some big-time grief
It's my fundamental firm belief
You don't talk about love
You don't talk about love
You don't talk about love
You don't talk about love
You don't talk about love
You don't talk about love
You don't talk about love
