[Intro]
Come on, yeah

[Chorus]
If you really wanna lay me down
Then you're gonna have to stop
Running away, running away, running away-ay-ay
I'm just hearing sounds
Speak up if you've got
Something to say, something to say, something to say-ay-ay

[Verse 1]
All I'm hearing is a cop-out
If you're really not winning, drop out
Like you never graduated
All the fights that we had were exaggerated
Hated what you did to me
But I love what you do to me
And I'm waiting for the truth to be
Loud and clear

[Chorus]
If you really wanna lay me down
Then you're gonna have to stop
Running away, running away, running away-ay-ay
I'm just hearing sounds
Speak up if you've got
Something to say, something to say, something to say-ay-ay
[Verse 2]
He said: "Drop out, who me? Nah girl, you're trippin'
You love what I do, so quit the bitchin'
Saying you only hear sounds cause you ain't listening
It's the whole damn point that you be missing"
He's all "Tell me what the problem is"
Then we're no longer problem kids
So I ain't running no more, in fact I'm sittin'
Waitin' to lay you down and obey your wishes

[Chorus]
If you really wanna lay me down
Then you're gonna have to stop
Running away, running away, running away-ay-ay
I'm just hearing sounds
Speak up if you've got
Something to say, something to say, something to say-ay-ay

[Verse 3]
[?] Shit, I need a man
If you wanna do this, show me that you can
If you're tryna kick it, need to come in loud and clear
You can say it to my face or you can whisper in my ear
My mind starts to erase ya
Every time you walk away it's like I'm on a wild chase
So pick your feet up off the ground
Baby, shut your mouth
Sayin' nothing, it's the sweetest sound
[Bridge]
If you really wanna lay me down
Quit walking away from me
Just hearing sounds
Do you got something to say to me?

Where is your heart after all?
You can try to pretend you're numb
But the day will come when you care for
Come on

[Chorus]
If you really wanna lay me down
Then you're gonna have to stop
Running away, running away, running away-ay-ay
I'm just hearing sounds
Speak up if you've got
Something to say, something to say, something to say-ay-ay
(Something to say to me)

[Outro]
Something to say, something to say, something to say-ay-ay
Something to say, something to say, something to say-ay-ay
Something to say, something to say, something to say-ay-ay
Something to say, something to say, something to say-ay-ay
Something to say, something to say, something to say-ay-ay
Something to say, something to say, something to say-ay-ay
Something to say, something to say, something to say-ay-ay
