“you can keep your sweet talk, keep your lies. Keep all of your promises, save that jive. You ain’t hitting on nothing unless you’ve got something for me. You promised me diamonds, I’ll never forget. But I ain’t seen, hidin’ a half a diamond yet. All I get is talk-talk-talk, get your bags and walk-walk-walk. You ain’t hittin’ on nothing unless you’ve got something for me. (…) Make your exit babe. I’m tired of your talk.”
Hitting on Nothing - Irma Thomas

“You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head, while you never shed a tear. Remember, I remember, all that you said. (…) you can cry me a river, cry me a river because I cried a river over you. (…) Cry me a river, I’m tired of crying over you.”
Cry me a river - Dinah Washington

“Please don’t talk about me when I’m gone,oh, honey though our friendship ceases, from now on. And, listen, if you can’t say anything real nice, it’s better not to talk at all, is my advice.

Makes no difference how I carry on, Remember, please don’t talk about me when I’m gone.”
Please don’t talk about me when I’m gone - Sammy Davis jr
