The Body Talks

Oh, never you can't hear me
Oh, though all the time you're near me
Once in a while surely will come a day
When tiny symptoms grow to mighty pain

I built you up, you bring me down
What can I do just to make you see
That an early warning's meant to avoid the worst?

I am your friend, you live through me
I am your body, you only got me
Why don't you treat me like it's meant to be?

Oh, never you can't hear me
Oh, though all the time you're near me
Once in a while surely will come a day
When tiny symptoms will grow to mighty pain

Oh, never you can't hear me
Oh, though all the time you're near me
Soon in a time then you will not refuse
You got to listen when the body talks

Do what you like but what it is
Please do not use me like if I was machine
I am not

I need respect and I'm worth it
If you would care for me just in a way
That you care for your car

Oh, never you can't hear me
Oh, though all the time you're near me
Once in a while surely will come a day
When tiny symptoms will grow to mighty pain

Oh, never you can't hear me
Oh, though all the time you're near me
Soon in a time then you will not refuse
You got to listen when the body talks
When the body talks

Give me something to keep me strong
I don't want poison or drugs
Keep me working then give me rest or I'll die

Oh, never you can't hear me
Oh, though all the time you're near me
Once in a while surely will come a day
When tiny symptoms will grow to mighty pain

Oh, never you can't hear me
Oh, though all the time you're near me
Soon in a time then you will not refuse
You got to listen when the body talks

When your body talks
You got to live without me
When your body talks
When your body talks
When your body talks
