Lyrics for Sweet Talkin' Woman as interpreted by Kenobi65

Sweet Talkin' Woman Lyrics
I was searchin', on a one-way street,
I was 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.

Chorus:
Slow down sweet talkin' woman
You got me runnin',
You got me searchin',
Hold on, sweet talkin' lover
It's so sad if that's
The way it's over.

Sweet talkin' woman.

I was walkin', many days go by
I was thinkin' about the lonely nights
Communication breakdown all around.
(She's gone so long) what can I do
(Where could she be now)
Don't know what I'm gonna do,
I gotta get back to you.

Chorus: repeat

Sweet talkin' woman.

I've been livin' on a dead end street,
I've been askin' everyone I meet,
Insufficient data coming through.
(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.

Chorus: repeat

wow..no comments? this is great- seriously, i don't understand why people haven't commented yet. this is a perfect example of an ELO song- i always recommend it to people as such. it's got the well-known classical motif, catchy tune, great lyrics and harmonies too. erm- meaning? possibly thinking of "the one that got away" and regretting it. possibly. enlighten me?

I think its about this woman that constantly eludes him. He thinks about her all the time, he keeps asking about her, and shes constantly out of reach.

Only a few coments...thta's is weird. This is one, maybe even the best ELO song to date. I love it and listen to it when it's sorta like a rainy day.

Awesome string intro. This is the second ELO song I've heard after Mr. Blue Sky, and I must say that I can definitely tell that it has the same sonic feel to it. Such a carefree song.

To me, this song's about a guy who can never get in touch for some reason. He's hoping beyond hope that some serendipity will help him find her beyond the "one-way street." This guy's obviously mesmerized by the way she talks and is lost for words when she's around "Communication breakdown all around"

Nice groovy, uplifting song, as I'm guessing now most ELO songs are like.

The obvious name-check of Communication Breakdown makes me want to think that other parts of the verses are references too, but then again, probably not.

I like how Huey Lewis copped the call-back verse endings for "Do You Believe in Love". Jeff's lawyers are snoozing.

Feels like someone you meet at a bar or some random place; you have a great conversation then you never see her again and you hope to hell next time by random chance you run into this person again.
