A
If walls could talk then I'm sure you'd hear
A
A whole lot of things that would make you cry, my dear
E D
So ain't you glad, ooh, ain't you glad
A
That walls don't talk
C D E
No they never talk
[Verse 2]
A
If doors could tell who turned the knobs
A
When he's away, working on his job
E D
Now ain't you glad, oh, you ought to be glad
A
That doors don't talk
C D E
No, they don't

You know, if cars could say just who's been inside

Now ain't you glad, I know you ought to be glad
A
That cars don't talk
C D E
Oh no, they don't talk

If shoes could tell, tell where they've been
A
When you claim that you were visiting a friend

C D E
No, they just walk
[Verse 5]
A
Well, in a world of trouble we'd be if things ever told on me
A
My love life would be through 'cos I'm guilty, how about you?
E
If things ever talked that way
D
Ain't no telling what they might say
E D
So ain't you glad, everybody ought to be glad
A
That things don't talk
C D E
I tell you, they don't talk about you
[Outro]

Oh I'm so glad
A
I'm so very glad
A
That things don't talk
