From the film "Gift Of Gab" (1934)
(Music: Con Conrad / Lyrics: Herb Magidson)
Gift of Gab is a 1934 black-and-white film released by Universal Pictures. Edmund Lowe stars as a man with the "Gift of Gab"-he can sell anyone anything. The film costars Ruth Etting, Ethel Waters, Victor Moore, and Gloria Stuart, and features Boris Karloff and Béla Lugosi. The film's sets were designed by the art director David Garber.
Ruth Etting sings "Talking to Myself" and "Tomorrow, Who Cares?" Originally the Three Stooges were signed to appear in the film, but they had just signed with Columbia Pictures for Woman Haters, the first of their short subjects, so three look-alike actors replaced them in Gift of Gab.
Gene Austin is the radio artist in the film.

Her other popular recordings included "Button Up Your Overcoat", "Mean to Me", "Exactly Like You" and "Shaking the Blues Away".
Etting died in Colorado Springs in 1978, aged 80.
Lyrics: (From The Internet)
I haven't heard a word from you
Snce the day we parted
Since the day you said, "We're through"
I haven't done a single thing
Since the day we parted
I only breathe and make believe
Talkin' to myself
Talkin' to myself
Ev'ry night I tell you how much I adore you
But I'm talkin' to myself
You're so far away
I've so much to say
Ev'ry night I keep repeating, "Dear, I love you"
But I'm talkin' to myself
I tell each little daisy
All about the things we planned
Say, my friends all think that I'm crazy
Ah, but they don't understand
Mmm-mmm, talkin' to myself
Mmm-mmm-mmm, talkin' to myself
Ev'ry night I tell you how much I adore you
But I'm talkin' to myself
