I was getting kinda tired Of her endless chatter Nothing I could say Ever seemed to matter So I took a little drive Just to clear my head I saw a flashing neon up ahead It looked like a place To find some satisfaction With a little less talk And a lot more action I paid the man at the door And pushed my way to the bar Shouted for a drink Over a screaming guitar A drunk on a stool Tried to mess with my head But I didn't even listen To a word he said I knew somewhere Amid all this distraction Was a little less talk And a lot more action A little less talk If you please A lot more loving Is what I need Let's get on down To the main attraction With a little less talk And a lot more action Well she was fighting them off At a corner table She had a long neck bottle She was peeling the label The look on her face It was perfectly clear She said somebody please Get me out of here The look she shot me Through the glass refraction Said a little less talk And a lot more action A little less talk If you please A lot more loving Is what I need Let's get on down To the main attraction With a little less talk And a lot more action
