anecdotes
"As I've said during shows, it's about Natalie but it's also about other women I've been with. It's about women in a lot of ways actually - it's like that great Chris Rock piece where he says 'let me tell you about relationships - men, ya'll gotta learn to listen; women, ya'll gotta learn to shut the fuck up', you know what I mean? That's such a massive difference between men and women. It's obviously talking about this girl that talks all the time, but the plea in the chorus is "don't stop, I actually love it when you talk all the time." It's not a particularly deep number." - interview, June 3 2006
lyrics
well i was down but you're calling me up
i love the sound when you're talking that stuff
you say you're lost and a little confused
and don't know what this is coming to
you say it's hard making sense of your life
i know it's hard but you gotta keep trying
don't keep it locked in your mouth like nothing ever happened
let it come out, now something's really happening
ch-ch-chatterbox, well you talk, talk, talk
s-s-say those words were the best i ever heard
ch-ch-chatterbox, baby please don't stop
you're my chatterbox

well i see red so i talk to myself
the line goes dead and i talk to myself
i like that perfume and the shape of your hips
and when you melt into my finger tips
i know it's hard making sense of your life
i know it's hard but you gotta keep trying
don't keep it locked in your mouth like nothing ever happened
let it come out, now something's really happening
ch-ch-chatterbox, well you talk, talk, talk
s-s-say those words were the best i ever heard
ch-ch-chatterbox, baby please don't stop
you're my chatterbox

you say it's hard making sense of your life
i know it's hard but you gotta keep trying
don't keep it locked in your mouth like nothing ever happened
let it come out, now something's really happening
ch-ch-chatterbox, well you talk, talk, talk
s-s-say those words were the best i ever heard
ch-ch-chatterbox, baby please don't stop
you're my chatterbox
