lyrics

I’VE GOT TO TALK TO THEM!

CHORUS:
I've got to talk to them, talk about it, talk, talk, talk.
It's amazing what talking can do!

(sing CHORUS 3 more times)

(1)
When someone says or does something I don't like,
I've got to talk to them about it; not get into a fight.
So I'll say, "Please don't...!" and tell them how I feel.
I may find they didn't do what I thought they did, for real.

CHORUS:
I've got to talk to them, talk about it, talk, talk, talk.
It's amazing what talking can do!

(sing CHORUS 3 more times)

(2)
When a problem with someone has got me feeling mad,
I won't bottle up my anger or explode with no control,
I won't take it out on others---that's just as bad.
So what could I do? Well, I've found it's often true...

CHORUS:
I've got to talk to them, talk about it, talk, talk, talk.
It's amazing what talking can do!

(sing CHORUS 3 more times)

(3)
One great way to resolve a conflict, I have seen
Is when I share what I feel and how I think,
And I'm willing to listen to the other side.
Fighting makes a problem larger; talking cuts it down to size!

CHORUS:
I've got to talk to them, talk about it, talk, talk, talk.
It's amazing what talking can do!

(sing CHORUS 3 more times)
