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.
honey when he promised you that fur coat
a baby could 've seen through that
now you were the believer
he wasn't the deceiver
he was just talkin' trash
now when he promised you the fur coat that day
he was just trying to make things go his way
and honey, you were the believer
he wasn't the deceiver
he was just talkin' trash
when I bought the car the salesman
told me it would do a 150 flat
I though I had a hot potato
but then I found out later
he was just talking trash
when I bought the car I was willing to bet
I thought that it would run like a new corvette
I though I had a hot potato
but then I found out later
that he was just talkin' trash
this phrase was made for honest Abes
who can't live up to promises made
let me show you just how life is
when you tell someone about our chat
I'll bet a nickle to a dollar
the first thing they will holler is
he was just talking trash
but I must admit that you're kinda cute
and it would be sorta nice to talk trash to you
(I'll bet a nickle to a dollar
the first thing they will holler is)
Sam was just talking trash
yeah I bet a nickle to a dollar
the first thing they will holler is
he was just talking trash
