Chorus:
C
It's just your jive talking you're telling me lies
Jive talking, you wear a disguise
Jive talking, so misunderstood,

jive talking, you're really no good.

Chorus:
With all your jive talkin', you're telling me lies,

Good lovin' still gets in my eyes
Nobody believe what you say

Oh, my love, you're so good
Treating me so cruel
There you go with your fancy lies
Leavin' me lookin' like a dumbstruck fool

With all your jive talkin', you're telling me lies,

Jive talkin', you just ain't no good
You know that love talkin' is all very fine, yeah
Jive talkin' just isn't a crime
And if there's somebody you'll love till you die
Then all that jive talkin' just gets in your eye,
yeah (Woo)

Jive talkin', you're telling me lies, yeah
Good lovin' still gets in my eyes
Nobody believe what you say
It's just your jive talkin' that gets in the way
You know that love talkin' is all very fine, yeah
Jive talkin' just isn't a crime
And if there's somebody you'll love till you die
Then all that jive talkin' just gets in your eye,
yeah, yeah

Oh, jive talkin'
Jive talkin', yeah
Oh, jive talkin', yeah
