You Can't Talk To The Dude
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You wonder why you're feeling blue,
And you live with a guy that you can't talk to.
You can't talk to the dude
And that's no longer in style,
You can't talk to the dude
No this "no es normal."
You can't talk to the dude
And things will never be right
Until you go.
Your sense of humor has gotten worse
Now that you live with a guy who can't converse
You can't talk to the due
Well he's set in his way,
Got a bad attitude
When you say what you say.
You can't talk to the dude
And things will never be right
Until you go.
Oh, you can't talk to the dude, no, no.
You can't talk to the dude, no, no.
You can't talk to the dude
And things will never be right
Until you go.
Oh, you can't talk to the dude, no, no.
You can't talk to the dude, no, no.
You can't talk to the dude
And things will never be right
Until you go.
You wonder why you're feeling rank,
And you live with a guy who's in the tank
You can't talk to the dude,
He's just hanging around,
No he don't taste the food,
He's just shoveling it down.
You can't talk to the dude
And things will never be right
Until you go.
Oh, you can't talk to the dude, no, no.
You can't talk to the dude, no, no.
Well you can't talk to the dude
And things will never be right
Until you go.
Well you can't talk to the dude
And things will never be right
Until you go, go go.
