The Quiet One ~ John Entwistle (Performed by The Who)

Everybody calls me the quiet one.
You can see but you can't hear me,
Everybody calls me the quiet one.
You can try but you can't get near me,

I ain't never had the gift of gab,
But I can't talk with my eyes.
When words fail me, you won't nail me;
My eyes can tell you lies.

Still waters run deep, so be careful I don't drown you.
You've got nothing to hear, I've got nothing to say.
Sticks and stones may break your bones,
But names can never down you.
It only takes two words to blow you away.

Everybody calls me the quiet one,
But you just don't understand.
You can't listen, you won't hear me
With your head stuck in the sand.

I ain't never had time for words that don't rhyme,
My head is in a cloud.
I ain't quiet - everybody else is too loud.
