Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Sweet talkin' woman)
Where did you go?
[Verse 2]
I was searching (Searching) on a one way street
I was hoping (Hoping) for a chance to meet
I was waiting for the operator on the line
[Verse 3]
(She's gone so long) What can I do?
(Where could she be?) I don't know
Don't know what I'm gonna do
I gotta get back to you
[Verse 4]
You gotta slow down (Slow down)
Sweet talkin' woman (Slow down)
You got me running, you got me searching
Hold on (Hold on)
Sweet talkin' lover (Hold on)
So sad if that's the way it's over
(Sweet talkin' woman)
[Verse 5]
I was (Walking), many days go by
I was thinking (Thinking) 'bout the lonely nights
Communication breakdown all around
[Verse 6]
(She's gone so long now) 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
[Verse 7]
You gotta slow down (Slow down)
Sweet talkin' woman (Slow down)
You got me running, you got me searching
Hold on (Hold on)
Sweet talkin' lover (Hold on)
So sad if that's the way it's over
(Sweet talkin' woman)
[Verse 8]
I've been living (Living) on a dead-end street
I've been asking (Where she hanging?) everybody I meet
Insufficient data coming through
[Verse 9]
(She's gone so long now) What can I do?
(Where could she be?) I don't know
Don't know what I wanna do
I gotta get back to you
[Verse 10]
You gotta slow down (Slow down)
Sweet talkin' woman (Slow down)
You got me running, you got me searching
Hold on (Hold on)
Sweet talkin' lover (Hold on)
So sad if that's the way it's over
(Sweet talkin' woman)
[Verse 11]
Slow down (Slow down)
Sweet talkin' woman (Slow down)
You got me running, you got me searching
Hold on (Hold on)
Sweet talkin' lover (Hold on)
So sad if that's the way it's over
[Verse 12]
Slow down (Slow down)
Sweet talkin' woman (Slow down)
You got me running, you got me searching
Hold on (Hold on)
Sweet talkin' lover (Hold on)
So sad if that's the way it's over
(Sweet talkin' woman)
