[Verse 1]
She's given up talking, don't say a word
Even in the classroom, not a dickie bird
Unlike other children, she's seen and never heard
She's given up talking, don't say a word
[Verse 2]
You see her in the playground standing on her own
Everybody wonders why she's all alone
Someone made her angry, someone's got her scared
She's given up talking, don't say a word
[Bridge]
But when she comes home, it's yap-a-yap-yap
Words are running freely like the water from a tap
Her brothers and her sisters can't get a word in edgeways
But when she's back at school again, she goes into a daze
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
But when she comes home, it's yap-a-yap-yap
Words are running freely like the water from a tap
Her brothers and her sisters can't get a word in edgeways
But when she's back at school again, she goes into a daze
[Verse 1]
She's given up talking, don't say a word
Even in the classroom, not a dickie bird
Unlike other children, she's seen and never heard
She's given up talking, don't say a word
[Outro]
She's given up talking
She don't say a word
Don't say a word
Don't say a word
Don't say a word
Don't say a word
She's given up talking, don't say a word
Even in the classroom, not a dickie bird
Unlike other children, she's seen and never heard
She's given up talking, don't say a word
[Verse 2]
You see her in the playground standing on her own
Everybody wonders why she's all alone
Someone made her angry, someone's got her scared
She's given up talking, don't say a word

But when she comes home, it's yap-a-yap-yap
Words are running freely like the water from a tap
Her brothers and her sisters can't get a word in edgeways
