Shout - Alexz Johnson

Listen baby to what I say —

You only want what you’ve thrown away

Broken tables, you’re unstable

(Looks like someone has won) These pirate games

(I'm loading up your gun) And ready to take all the blame

(But still I play along) While sinking in sand I find

(But know, I am not moving) This checkmate is the last time

(It's just how high you climb) There’s ivory in this spine

(Be cleaning up tomorrow) Keeping what you’ve left behind

(You need a little faith to shine) To know the sun will set

It will be dark by eight and winter’s as cold as it gets

Wanna make you hear, gotta walk away

Wanna make you dance, gotta move this way

Wanna hear you breathe without a doubt

Wanna make you sing, wanna make you shout

Listen baby to what I say —

You only want what you’ve thrown away

Broken tables.

you’re unstable

Listen honey, listen well

I’m only yours soon as you get well

You’re designer, nothing finer

(No, I’m not in denial) I see my violins

(It's taken you awhile) Watching all this soaking in

(Was never made of tin) Can’t keep it up no more

But like it’s always been, I’m sleeping underneath your door

Gotta stop my heart, it’s running wild

I gotta tie a knot, no, I ain’t no child

Listen baby to what I say —

You only want what you’ve thrown away

Broken tables, you’re unstable

Listen closer, ear to a can

I’m only here under your command

Got three wishes, clean your dishes

I don’t mind that baby

I don’t mind that lately

If you’re coming my way

I don’t mind

I don’t mind

I don’t mind that baby

I don’t mind that lately

If you’re coming my way

I don’t mind

I don’t mind

Listen baby to what I say —

You only want what you’ve thrown away

Broken tables, you’re unstable

Listen honey, listen well

I’m only yours soon as you get well

You’re designer, nothing finer
