We've all been pushed to a stove
Often it's more than just once
I refuse to sit down and talk about it
As you persist to discuss
Oh how I mumble too much
Repeat my words as they turn to sludge
But I promise to you babe I will learn to speak up
Before you've had enough
I could hear you following me across the street
To the pavement around the corner from my house
Dodging the cracks along the way
As you stop to catch your breath I could hear you say
Oh boy why don't you speak up for your always mumbling too much
Oh I know I gotta learn to speak up
My lazy zombie ways are always causing us such a fuzz
As I got you wondering in my maze
I promise to speak up
'Bout all these things that I've done
Yeah I blow them off with a shrug
But I promise to you I will learn to speak up
