Quiet

Keep it quiet,
You try, but you don't know why,
You've got no fire,
No drive to put up a fight,
She whispers "lie" and everyone will keep on by,
Pay you no mind,

Better to lie, don't cry or even make a sound,
Better to hide, don't wanna push your weight around,
Don't confide and you'll always be safe and sound,
Because you're quiet.

She called me quiet,
She made me quiet,
She said "we love you when you're quiet,
Quiet as the night, no need to make a sound,"
She said "we love you when you're quiet,
Quiet as the night, no one knows when you're around,"

It's ten past five, I'm waiting as the boys arrive to spark a fight,
Debating in the early night,
And as I try I am so instantly despised, I don't know why,
But this boy he tells me why, what I do is not what they like,
Cos I'm not bright, so better keep myself in line,
But then despite, I still tried to stir up a fire he said "be quiet"

He said "look pretty and be quiet,"
He called me quiet,
He said "we love you when you're quiet, quiet as the night,
No need to make a sound,"
He said "we love you when you're quiet, quiet as the night,
No one knows when you're around."

Woah, girl, you're playing with fire,
Not much to be desired,
You're causing so much spite,
I'll ask you to be quiet,
So what do you require?
A Miss to call you Sire?
You're filling me with spite,
I'll ask you to be quiet
I'll ask you to be quiet

I'd ask you to be quiet,
I'd ask you to be quiet,
I'd ask you to be quiet,
I'd ask you to be quiet,
I'd ask you to be quiet,
I'd ask you to be quiet,

Ooh, quiet as the night?
I'm quiet as a riot!
And more when you're around,
Oh, you asked me to be quiet!
I'm quiet as a riot!
And destined to be loud.

Oh, girl, you're playing with fire,
Not much to be desired,
You're causing so much spite,
I'll ask you to be quiet,
So what do you require?
A Miss to call you Sire?
You're filling me with spite,
I'll ask you to be quiet!
