[Thorpe, Albert, Howe]

I hear what you're sayin'

And you're sayin' nothin'
You're talking in circles
A picture's worth a thousand words

I picture you silent
Not another word
Oh no! here it comes again

The sound of your voice
Must be your only friend
Why can't you understand

You're makin' me a wreck
Why can't you understand
You're boring me to death

Perpetual...
If I had a dime
For every reason, rhyme or lie

I would surely be
The richest man alive
They say that talk is cheap

Well they don't know ya
They really can't afford ya...
You break the bank
