lyrics
what is this all about, settle down, please don’t yell or shout,
what is this all about, settle down, please don’t yell or shout
at first she threw me bliss, then she threw a fist,
i’m not used to women punching but i blocked it with my wrist,
told her that i loved her, tried to club her with a kiss,
but she threw me down a well and said to dwell in that abyss,
and i, tried to swim in it and be a bigger fish
but i couldn’t swim the same way i did when we were kids,
then i, made a promise to be honest and i fibbed
and that lie grew so high it couldn’t fit where we lived,
and we’d, dance around it like it wasn’t in the crib
everytime i called her baby she would answer with a bib
that would drive me crazy and i’d throw a little fit
then i’d, scream at her with silence while she asked me what she did
what is this all about, settle down, please don’t yell or shout,
what is this all about, settle down, please don’t yell or shout
she said, “you don’t have to yell to be mean,
and sometimes your silence can be louder than a scream,
i wish you’d see it and i wish you didn’t lean,
mom say’s i attract ‘em i’m just trying to live my dream,
and then you caught me and pulled me out my stream,
and strung me along while you plotted, planned and schemed,
told me that you loved me, that we made the perfect team,
but turns out that was just steam,” (No it wasn’t, Love)
“and i forgave you ‘cause i loved the way we seemed,
no one’s ever loved me so filthy i felt clean,
everything just fell apart, especially our dream,
pretending you were pure white, when really you were green.”
what is this all about, settle down, please don’t yell or shout,
what is this all about, settle down, please don’t yell or shout
