Talk gently to me, babe
Gently like a bird
Talk gently to me, babe
Gently like a bird
If you don't watch your tone
Soon you'll be alone
The grass is always greener
On the other side
But mine used to be the greenest
When you were by my side
But if you don't watch your tone
I'll leave you alone
I'll leave you alone
Mama don't you fool
Mama don't you fool
Mama don't you fool around with me
Cause I can mess with you mind
Before you even get it figured
Woman don't you try
Woman don't you try
Don't you try to raise an attitude
Put yourself in your place
And show me some gratitude
So babe, low voice
Low voice to me
Babe, low voice
Low voice to me
Everytime I see you walkin' down
With that look on your face
I got this shiver on my backbone
Everytime you play down low
From sweet old lovin'
You turn to foe
So guess it's time for me
To say goodbye
Guess it's far beyond the right time
So there won't be no tears in our eyes
You should have talked gently to me, babe
Gently like a bird
