Kangaroo Outtake (1985)

2009 rewrite

Let’s talk,
Don’t turn away
I got some words to say
Let’s talk
Be a little brave
I won’t misbehave

You know the night is gettin’ colder
And the silence hurts my ears
Come and rest upon my shoulder
And let me wipe away your tears
And honey, let’s talk,

Let’s talk,
Where you gonna go?
We can take it slow
Let’s talk,
I’m a wreck inside
The door’s open wide

There’s nothin’ really matters
More than anything you’ll say
My brain will tear to tatters
If you leave me here this way,
So honey, let’s talk,
Let’s talk,
Let’s talk,
Honey, let’s talk

I know I really hurt you
And you probably think I tried
But I never ever mean you any harm
So how can I convince you?
How can you be satisfied?
When I promise you
The last thing I’d do
Is cut off my right arm.

Let’s talk,
Better come back in
It’s a wicked wind
Let’s talk,
Won’t you please believe
There’s nothing up my sleeve

I’ll never take for granted
The loveliness of you
All the flowers that you planted
Will die here if I do
So honey, let’s talk,
Let’s talk,
Let’s talk,
Honey, let’s talk.
