\"Let's<\/p>\n

This song sprung out of conversation and, of course, is also a reference to the Chocoloate Watchband song, “Let’s Talk About Girls.”<\/p>\n

It was originally much longer and more overtly tongue in cheek… it started feeling like a fraternity drinking song toward the end.<\/p>\n

This much shortened version is less overtly jokey. I sort of wanted something that could be taken a few ways. The problem with jokes in songs is that once you’ve heard the joke, you pretty much don’t care to hear the song again. (Well, I don’t.)<\/p>\n\n

previous AYoS version<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s Not Talk About Girls<\/span><\/p>\n

let’s not talk about lonely nights
\nor waiting for her to come home
\nwe all know what it’s like
\ndon’t think that your’e all alone<\/p>\n

let’s not talk about girls<\/span>
\nlet’s not talk about broken hearts<\/span>
\nlet’s not talk about love and<\/span>
\nhow love can tear you apart<\/span><\/p>\n

let’s not talk about togetherness
\nhearth home or family
\nlet’s not talk about how it all falls apart
\nfor all the world to see<\/p>\n

let’s not talk about girls<\/span>
\nlet’s not talk about broken hearts<\/span>
\nlet’s not talk about love and<\/span>
\nhow love can tear you apart<\/span><\/p>\n
