You said the right things You flattered and charmed Convinced and promised Until I was disarmed Your words were golden They sparkled and shined They shined so brightly I must have gone blind I invested myself In the words you sold But all that glitters Is not gold I've always heard That talk is cheap Well my words are diamonds And yours are free You don't mean what you say You don't do what you mean Your words are free But they're costing me

Talk is Cheap
You said the right things You flattered and charmed Convinced and promised Until I was disarmed Your words were golden They sparkled and shined They shined so brightly I must have gone blind I invested myself In the words you sold But all that glitters Is not gold I've always heard That talk is cheap Well my words are diamonds And yours are free You don't mean what you say You don't do what you mean Your words are free But they're costing me
