Let Me Talk to You
Roy Clark · Honky Tonk [Hilltop] [1975]
Just one more dance, just one more chance, so I can talk to you
Don't live too fast, forget the past, and I will try to prove
I would do anything, you ask me to
Don't run around, don't turn me down, let me talk to you.
Don't go too fast with that crowd from your past
That's not the way to win, please fall in love again
Give me your heart, so I can start, to build our life anew
I know you paid, so if you're afraid, let me talk to you.
Don't go too fast with that crowd from your past
That's not the way to win, please fall in love again
Give me your heart, so I can start, to build our life anew
I know you paid, so if you're afraid, let me talk to you...
