Verse 1:
Funnin' round Grandpa's farm
Really groovin' on the baby pigs
Oh, I know they haven't even read the books I know
Yeah, I understand the telephone
But I really love to watch you talk your talk
I love to watch you

Maybe we're better off
I feel young dancing with you
It happened all by itself
Verse 2:
What are we browning here for?
Haven't we seen through this whole thing yet
Gonna get together gonna write us a book
Call it, 'Stop Running The World'
Look like I'm back in business all over again
Maybe we're better off
Looking at you, looking at you there
Little better, it happened all by itself
(Groove on G)

Verse 3:
I see that time is fast
I see the same hands on that same clock move
Way too slow
I'll quit talking about mys-
I swear I'll quit talking about myself
Maybe you can whisper enough here
So I can start thinking about you
Maybe we're better off
Sure right looking at you
(Groove on Em)
Verse 4:
Let's not confuse association
Something we both really like
I swear I quit talking
I swear I quit talking about myself
Just as soon as I learn to stop talking at all
It would be better off
Just feel you thinking about you (?)
Maybe we're better off
Feel good looking at you
