Lyrics
- If you love your sweetie I don’t blame you
No, I don’t blame you, for I love mine
But if you’re gonna brag I want to tell you
I’ve got to tell you to get in line, say!
Chorus:
You talk about your sweetie
Stop talking ’bout your sweetie
Let’s talk about my sweetie now
I’ve listened to your raving
Now listen to my raving
You’re gonna hear some raving now
Just where your sweetie stops
My sweetie begins
If she’s good as mine
She’d have to be twins
You talk about your sweetie
Stop talking ’bout your sweetie
Let’s talk about my sweetie now
- Please don’t think I ever want to argue
I hate to argue, in fact I don’t
But I’ll just lay the simple facts before you
They’ll never bore you, I know they won’t, say!
Chorus:
You talk about your sweetie
Stop talking ’bout your sweetie
Let’s talk about my sweetie now
I’ve listened to your raving
Now listen to my raving
You’re gonna hear some raving now
You say your sweetie
Does the Charleston real fine
Well, then she must have
Taken lessons from mine
You talk about your sweetie
Stop talking ’bout your sweetie
Let’s talk about my sweetie now
