Umphrey's McGee > Songs > Speak Up > Lyrics


    So my conscience said, "Don't you ever think that you're asking for too much?"
    Yeah I know right now that I got more than enough
    Keep it off the record 'cause that's no crime
    Yeah keeps me honest, well most of the time
    Every little thing about myself that I come to dread
    Every little thing, every little thing, every little
    It all becomes a permanent part of me instead

    Ooh, maybe you're right, this time I should stay
    Ooh, tell me why you think that I should meet you halfway
    Ooh, tell me what you want, tell me what you really want
    What do you really want from me
    Ooh, 'cause I don't think it's right, you say it's a waste of time
    That's not the way it's supposed to be

    And all those words that nobody heard and you wish that you had said
    There was never a time, never a place
    I never really had anything worth saying
    It's like every little song you heard in your head and you wish you had sung
    It's singing "ooo la la, yeah, I'm still stepping underneath your toes"

    Ooh, maybe you're right, this time I should stay
    Ooh, tell me why you think that I should meet you halfway
    Ooh, tell me what you want, tell me what you really want
    What do you really want from me
    Ooh, cause I don't think it's right, you say it's a waste of time
    That's not the way it's supposed to be

    Speak up, speak up
    You better tell me now please and I won't betray if you got something to say you gotta say it right now
    Can you tell me now please and I won't betray if you got something to say you gotta say it right now
