Jeeez, really love this song by Jerry Lee. Yes, should have been a hit for Jerry Lee. Rec. 1959, June 25-26 (or June 15, depending of sources) Sun, 706 Union Ave. Released July, 1959. Roland Janes or BLR (gtr), Leo Ladner (bass), Russell Smith (dms). Yes I know he was a member of Lewis' band from 1957, but I don't argue vs Colin Escott & Martin Hawkins, "The Sun Session File of Jerry Lee Lewis" 1st part of a comprehensive SUN Label discography. B-side was "The Ballad Of Billy Joe," an 'answer' song to ex Sun artist Johnny Cash's "Don't Take Your Guns To Town."
this one for you cnk We talked about the birdies That fly up in the trees We talked about the moon And the stars we couldn't see But you keep on pretending You don't know what's wrong with me Come on, let's talk, about us We talked about the good times That made us laugh and sigh We talked about the bad times That brought tears to our eyes Now, I think it's about time For you to realize Come on, let's talk, about us Hey Dear, I swear I'll love you, 'til the very end But I don't plan on stickin' around If it's just to be your friend We've talked, and talked, and talked, and talked But there's been nothin said The things that you've been talking about Just don't stick to my head Sometimes I think, little girl That your heart is filled with lead Come on, let's talk, about us Well, dear, I swear I'll love you, oh, 'til the very end Well, I don't plan on stickin' around If it's just to be your friend We've talked, and talked, and talked, and talked And there's been nothin' said The thing that you've been talkin' about Just don't stick to my head My darlin' little girl I think that your heart is made of lead Come on, let's talk, about us Come on, let's talk, about us Well, well, well, well, well Come on, let's talk, about us
Id never heard this , only Dave edmunds version. It's great... except the backing vocals.
Should have been a big hit for the Killer.
Jerry Lee Lewis is the best

fantastico
this one for you cnk
We talked about the birdies
That fly up in the trees
We talked about the moon
And the stars we couldn't see
But you keep on pretending
You don't know what's wrong with me
Come on, let's talk, about us
We talked about the good times
That made us laugh and sigh
We talked about the bad times
That brought tears to our eyes
Now, I think it's about time
For you to realize
Come on, let's talk, about us
Hey
Dear, I swear I'll love you, 'til the very end
But I don't plan on stickin' around
If it's just to be your friend
We've talked, and talked, and talked, and talked
But there's been nothin said
The things that you've been talking about
Just don't stick to my head
Sometimes I think, little girl
That your heart is filled with lead
Come on, let's talk, about us
Well, dear, I swear I'll love you, oh, 'til the very end
Well, I don't plan on stickin' around
If it's just to be your friend
We've talked, and talked, and talked, and talked
And there's been nothin' said
The thing that you've been talkin' about
Just don't stick to my head
My darlin' little girl
I think that your heart is made of lead
Come on, let's talk, about us
Come on, let's talk, about us
Well, well, well, well, well
Come on, let's talk, about us
