Sweet Talkin' Woman

About Sweet Talkin' Woman

"Sweet Talkin' Woman" is a 1978 single by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) from the album Out of the Blue. Its original title was "Dead End Street", but it was changed during recording, perhaps to avoid confusion with a 1966 hit of the same title by The Kinks. Some words that survived from that version can be heard in the opening of the third verse, "I've been livin' on a dead end street". The track became the third top ten hit from the LP in the UK, peaking at number 6. As a novelty, initial copies of the 12" and 7" formats were pressed in transparent purple vinyl. The version released in the United States was 10 seconds shorter than its British counterpart due to a slightly faster mix. In the US, it reached number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. more »

I was searchin' (searchin') on a one-way street
I was hopin' (hopin') for a chance to meet
I was waitin' for the operator on the line
(She's gone so long)
What can I do?
(Where could she be?)
Don't know what I'm gonna do
I gotta get back to you

You gotta slow down (slow down), sweet talkin' woman
You got me runnin', you got me searchin'
Hold on (hold on), sweet talkin' lover
It's so sad if that's the way it's over

I was (walkin'), many days go by
I was thinkin' (thinkin') 'bout the lonely nights
Communication break down all around
(She's gone so long)
What can I do?
(Where could she be now?)
No no no, don't know what I'm gonna do
I gotta get back to you

You gotta slow down (slow down), sweet talkin' woman
You got me runnin', you got me searchin'
Hold on (hold on), sweet talkin' lover (hold on)
It's so sad if that's the way it's over

I've been livin' on a dead-end street
I've been askin' ev'rybody I meet
Insufficient data coming through
(She's gone so long)
What can I do?
(Where could she be?)
No no no, don't know what I'm gonna do
I gotta get back to you

Slow down (slow down), sweet talkin' woman
You got me runnin', you got me searchin'
Hold on (hold on), sweet talkin' lover (hold on)
It's so sad if that's the way it's over

You got me runnin', you got me searchin'
Hold on (hold on), sweet talkin' lover (hold on)
It's so sad if that's the way it's over

You got me runnin', you got me searchin'
Hold on (hold on), sweet talkin' lover (hold on)
It's so sad if that's the way it's over

You got me runnin', you got me searchin'
