| I was drinkin' in a loud Hot’lanta honky tonk
|
| When I saw her standin' in the crowd alone
|
| I can’t forget the night I met that quiet woman
|
| Somethin' about her sure did turn me on
|
| But she gave me the silent treatment all night long
|
| I started once or twice to strike up a conversation
|
| I gave it my best shot, but I struck out
|
| She never said a word 'til I started leavin'
|
| And then she said «stick around, boy, you’ll find out
|
| What this silent treatment is all about»
|
| «You see, some things are better left unspoken
|
| Some things are best said silently»
|
| A-hoo, and it was so beautiful
|
| What she said to me
|
| It just goes to show that you can’t go on first impressions
|
| Quietly she showed me I was wrong, so wrong
|
| I really learned a lot, it was a revelation
|
| The night that quiet woman took me home
|
| And gave me that silent treatment all night long
|
| She gave me that silent treatment and it’s alright
|
| You can give me that silent treatment every night
|
| Whoa yeah |
