Talkin’ Trash Sam Cooke

Honey, when he promised you that fur coat
A baby coulda seen through that
Now you were the believer
He wasn't a deceiver
He was just a-talkin' trash

Now when he promised you the fur coat that day
He was just tryin' to make things go his way
Now you were the believer
He wasn't a deceiver
He was just a-talkin' trash

Listen to me
Now when I bought my car, the salesman
Told me it'll do a hundred-fifty flat
I thought I had a hot potato
But then I found out later
That he was just a-talkin' trash

Baby, when I bought the car, I was willing to bet
I thought that it would run like a new Corvette
I thought I had a hot potato
But then I found out later
That he was just a-talkin' trash

Now this phrase was made for honest Abes
Who can't live up to promises they made
