Lyrics talk is cheap - Tarrus Riley

talk is cheap

I don’t find it funny
Act as if dem love you and know dem no mean it
Dem smile inna your face, but dem no true, no
Dem only pretend
You’ve got to check your lover and watch your friends
Dem act as if they are with you
And I don’t find it funny
The things people do
A pose nuff a pose like, dem mean you good
Dem all put on the clothes of sheep, when dem a wolf
Outside dem attractive, inside dem destructive
You cyaan judge the book until you read the pages
So I don’t trust man so easily
Your words and ways, dem must agree
I tell you talk is cheap and you cyaan fool me
Me know a talk is cheap, in time we’ll see
Dem smile inna your face, but dem no true
Na-na-na, dem only pretend
You’ve got to check your lover and watch your friends
Dem act as if they are with you
And I don’t find it funny
The things people do
When you share and you break bread, dem a want it all
They’ll play games with your head, just to see you fall
You’d be surprised, who want to see your demise
A who no waan see you rise
Nuff a dem a waggonist in disguise
So I don’t trust one so easily
Your words and ways, dem must agree
Man weh talk is cheap and you cyaan fool me
Yes, talk is cheap, in time we’ll see
Nuff a dem a smile inna we face, but dem no true, no
Dem only pretend
You’ve got to pree your lover and watch your friends
Dem act as if they are with you
And I don’t find it funny
The things people do
The games people play (play)
I don’t find it funny
Act as if dem love you and know dem no mean it
The games people play
Jah know it no funny
Act as if dem love you and know dem no mean it
And I wouldn’t trust, not to trust, yeah
And I wouldn’t trust, not to trust, yeah
So I don’t trust man so easily
Your words and ways, dem must agree
I tell you talk is cheap and you cyaan fool me
Me know a talk is cheap, in time we’ll see
