Sweet Talker

from Honor the Father by The Restoration

/

lyrics

Narrators: Roman Bright, Diana Colly, 1937

Roman:
I was so blue
‘Til I met you.
D-D-Diana, could I trouble you—(hiccup!)—for a dance?

Diana:
No thank you, Roman, I am not looking for romance.

Roman:
Alrighty, well I guess I’ll go give that apple bobbin’ a chance...

I’d like to sweet talk her, ‘til she’s sweet on me.
I’d like to sweet talk her, but that never works for me.

Tiny Snellgrove:
Say there Roman, man she can’t keep sayin’ no to you all night.

Roman:
Well, Tiny, you know I—I don’t want to be a pushy guy—
God help me, who’s that guy touching her dress, holding her hand—
I think they’re going to dance!

Tiny:
Don’t flip your lid! You gotta sweet talk her.

Roman:
I’m gonna sweet talk her, ‘til she’s sweet on me.
I’m gonna sweet talk her her, ‘til she’s sweet on me.

Pastor Greg Pope:
Say kids, save some room for the Holy Spirit!
