Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Small talk
Small talk
Small talk
[Verse 2]
Ooh, we're tired of prophesying
We heard the word was good, but it's stupefying
Small talk
Get up and do some death defying
Small talk
[Verse 3]
I heard a whisper
That careless talk costs more than you bargained for
In seventh heaven, if a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing badly, baby
[Verse 4]
Small talk
[Verse 5]
Small talk, oh, baby, it's so inconsequential
Everybody heard enough about your big potential
Small talk, oh, no information given
Small talk
[Verse 6]
I heard a whisper
That careless talk costs more than you bargained for
In seventh heaven, if a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing badly, baby
[Verse 7]
I heard a whisper
That careless talk costs more than you bargained for
In seventh heaven, if a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing badly, baby
[Verse 8]
Small talk, oh, well, you're such a little socialite
We heard your chit chat, now you get it up and get it right
Small talk, oh, show us what you're made of, baby
Small talk
[Verse 9]
I heard a whisper
That careless talk costs more than you bargained for
In seventh heaven, if a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing badly, baby
[Verse 10]
I heard a whisper
That careless talk costs more than you bargained for
In seventh heaven, if a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing badly, baby
[Verse 11]
I heard a whisper
That careless talk costs more than you bargained for
In seventh heaven, if a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing badly, baby
