The Everly Brothers The Silent Treatment song lyrics

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!
