Before You Speak

Words come so easy
When you're angry
Don't they babe

You talk in circles
Til' you're screaming
In my face

You don't even know what you're saying
When you're yelling
All the time

Why you treat me like a criminal
I ain't done no crime

Talk like I'm listening
Cause I'm listening
To you babe

But I don't know what you're feeling
If I can't hear
What you say

For me words don't come quite as easy
So I keep it
All inside

You don't like my silence
But I don't like to fight

I don't mind if you scream at me
But maybe think before you speak
Sometimes you'll say anything
Even things that you don't mean
Next time that I anger you
Baby, please just think it through
Think once, twice, three times before you speak

When you scream are you lying
Cause you really
Want to cry

Does being angry
Feel much better
Than what's hurting you inside

Just trust that I don't want to lose you
We'll resolve it
Every time

Cause baby at the end of the day you're mine

I don't mind if you scream at me
But maybe think before you speak
Sometimes you'll say anything
Even things that you don't mean
Next time that I anger you
Baby, please just think it through
Think once, twice, three times before you speak
To me
Think before you speak

I don't mind
If you scream at me
But sometimes you'll say things
That you don't mean
So baby think once
Baby think twice
Think three times
Before you speak
