Lyrics
It's, it's quarter to three and I'm chillin'
At the barber shop, right around the block
My lady's been treating me like a villain
Silent treatment there, around the clock
Couldn't concentrate on work today
Things on my mind that I could not say
The pride of a man can do you wrong
When your woman's will is just as strong
When you find yourself out every night
'Cause your house just ain't a home (It's better to talk it out)
When you know that something just ain't right
And inside you feel alone
When you're around the door and you wanna stay
Don't let the words get in the way (Ooh)
Even if she's gone to scream and shout
For the love to save
It's better to talk it out
Sorry is the hardest word (to say)
But when you don't, your feelings get hurt
Dragging it out is a game that we play
And drama only seems to escalate
Ministers at the church givin' his opinion
Your sister's on the couch, givin' him the business
There comes a time in life when you can't afford the sign, oh
When you find yourself out every night
'Cause your house just ain't a home (It's better to talk it out)
When you know that something just ain't right
And inside you feel alone
When you're around the door and you wanna stay
Don't let the words get in the way (Ooh)
Even if she's gone to scream and shout
For the love to save
It's best to talk it out
You know that she's ready and waiting (It's better to talk it out)
So listen to what she'll be saying (It's better to talk it out)
Choose your words and you better go slow
Swallow your pride and check your ego
(Before you shout) Hold it in
(Don't work with your hand) That's a sin
"I'm sorry" will lead you back again
When you find yourself out every night
'Cause your house just ain't a home (It's better to talk it out)
When you know that something just ain't right
And inside you feel alone
When you're around the door and you wanna stay
Don't let the words get in the way (Ooh)
Even if she's gone to scream and shout
For the love to save
It's better to talk it out
When you find yourself out every night
'Cause your house just ain't a home (It's better to talk it out)
When you know that something just ain't right
And inside you feel alone
When you're around the door and you wanna stay
Don't let the words get in the way (Ooh)
Even if she's gone to scream and shout
For the love to save
It's better to talk it out
When you find yourself out every night
'Cause your house just ain't a home
When you know that something just ain't right
And inside you feel alone
When you're around the door and you wanna stay
Don't let the words get in the way (Ooh)
Even if she's gone to scream and shout
For the love to save
It's better to talk it out
Be the man that you used to be, hey
Try to treat her sweetly, hey
It don't make no sense to leave, no~
It's better to talk it out
(When you're around the door and you wanna stay) Be the man that you used to be, hey
(Don't let the words get in the way) Try to treat her sweetly, hey
(Even if she's gone to scream and shout) It don't make no sense to leave
(For the love to save) No~
