The silent treatment, The icy shoulder, There's nothin' colder, It never fails! If, from his lies and alibi-in', You're in distress, And to combat it you've been tryin', But, more or less, Without success; A diet Of deadly quiet Can be a sure cure for all that ails! Man knows it only mean disaster, For he'll never be the master of The silent treatment, the weapon of a woman in love! A diet Of deadly quiet Can be a sure cure for all that ails! Man knows it only mean disaster, For he'll never be the master of The silent treatment, the weapon of a woman in love! Forgive him without an explanation, With kisses instead of conversation, As the silent treatment, the weapon of a woman in love!
