I don't mind listening 
Good conversation is my thing 
But I won't talk about the weather, no 
I'm not rude, nor am I shy 
But honey, I'm not gonna lie 
That's what most people seem to think 

I don't get your jokes 
You might have to repeat everything you just told me 
'Cause I didn't pay no mind 
And I know I probably should try 

Smalltalk makes me 
Smalltalk makes me cry, cry 
Smalltalk makes me cry, cry 
Shallow words, fake smiles, giggles and pretty lies 
Smalltalk makes me cry 
Oh, smalltalk makes me cry 

Everyday: Hey how are you? 
Oh that question makes me blue 
'Cause no one ever really answers it 
Awkward silences aren't real 
It's just something that your mind makes up when you're feeling insecure 

I don't get your jokes 
You might have to repeat everything you just told me 

Smalltalk makes me cry, cry 
Smalltalk makes me cry, cry 
Shallow words, fake smiles, giggles and pretty lies 
Smalltalk makes me cry 
Oh, smalltalk makes me cry 

It just don't feel right 
Even if we'd talk all night 
There'd be so much left unsaid 
Tell me how you feel 
Something honest, something real 
Break the surface of your mind 

Smalltalk makes me cry, cry 
Smalltalk makes me cry, cry 
Shallow words, fake smiles, giggles and pretty lies 
Smalltalk makes me cry 
Oh, smalltalk makes me cry
