I Wish You Wouldn’t Say ThatTalking Heads

Songwriter: Talking Heads David Byrne

Producer: Talking Heads Lance Quinn Tony Bongiovi

I wish you wouldn't say that
I thought I'd have to come right over
I thought I made it clear enough
I guess I'll have to make it clearer

Say something to change my mind
Bring me back the way I used to be
If it takes forever, that's all right
Say the words that I've been trying to hear

I wish you didn't tell her
I thought I'd have to come right over
I thought I'd have to make it clearer
Now, Jimmy's coming over

There are places that I won't forget
And I guess I'm never going back
Guess it's information that I lack
I've told lies without a hint or regret

I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that

I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that
I wish you wouldn't say that

Talking Heads

Ground-breaking rock band Talking Heads is arguably one of the most influential bands of all time. Spearheaded by their slightly crazy lead singer David Byrne, they were at the forefront of the New Wave movement.

The band was formed in 1974 by Byrne and drummer Chris Frantz. Frantz’s then-girlfriend-later-wife Tina Weymouth was quickly recruited to play bass. After a few recordings and performances, guitarist/keyboardist Jerry Harrison was hired to round out the group.

Their first album, Talking 77, was appropriately released in 1977. It quickly received critical acclaim.
