Speak Lyrics by The Roches

Speak

0

[Verse 1]
The time has come for me to speak
Uh oh the time has come
And while the silence picks on me
I pray to not be dumb

[Verse 2]
So I am hunting for the words
Just wait 'til I find some
I need some syllables do you
Know where to get them from?

[Bridge]
When I am in my house alone
My speeches take a week
But from my lips when you are near
A sound will seldom leak

[Verse 3]
When I was a little girl (When I was a)
I coined a mighty text
Looking back I blush to hear (Looking back I)
What I'd come out with next

[Verse 4]
Is now (Is now) the time (The time) for me (For me) to speak (To speak)
But what (But what) if they (If they) talk back? (Talk)
O when (O when) I o- (I o-) -pen up (-pen up) my beak (My beak)
Let's hope (Let's hope) that I (That I) can quack (Quack)

[Bridge]
And if I do look out beware
The truth is hard to take
And everything for all I care
Can jump into a lake
Yeah

[Verse 5]
Is now the time for me to speak
(When I was a little girl) (When I was a little girl)
But what if they talk back?
(I coined a mighty text)
Looking back I blush to hear (Looking back I blush to hear)
(O when I open up my beak)
What I'd come out with next
(Let's hope that I)
Quack
Yeah
Quack
