VERSE ONE
Well I was trying my best to impress a lovely lady / I was attempting to pick her up in a crowded bar / Well she looked me in the eye and said 'You seem like a decent guy / Let me tell you why you didn't get too far':
CHORUS ONE
You need a little less dressing and a lot more byrd / less punctuation and a few more words / A little more show than tell is what you need / You need a little less hope and a lot more happen / A little more package and a lot less wrappin' / You can't just talk the talk, you've gotta Do the Deed'
VERSE TWO
When I was young and dumb I thought I was a boxer / And I was talking all kinds of trash before every fight / Well one night I met my match and I got knocked out purdy fast / And this is what I heard right before he put out the lights:
CHORUS TWO
You need a little less frosting and a lot more cake / Little less sizzle and a lot more steak / A little more show than tell is what you need / You need a little less steam and a lot more work / Little more pull and a lot less jerk / You can't just talk the talk, you gotta Do the Deed
VERSE THREE
Well I've been around and I found out just what I'm good for / I found the perfect job that suits me to a T / You can blame natural selection or you can thank my big election / Either way, it's a politician's life for me
CHORUS THREE
Cause I'm a lot more fool and a lot less gold / Talk a big bluff but I always fold / More show than tell is exactly what I need / I'm all about flash while I steal your pan / Lie both ways just because I can / I get paid to talk the talk and not to Do the Deed
I get paid to talk the talk and not to Do the Deed
