slow down, i'm not looking for an answer
but at least not today
instead entertain me for the moment
oh this won't go away

chorus:
you speak to me then sentence me
you change me around
turn me over and around you like that
then just let me be

outside, it's always from the outside
'cause you can't hear a word
some things come cheaper by the dozen
at least that's what i've heard

too strong to be held tight,
too young to be told
too strong to be so tired
seems like i would know

(repeat chorus)

slow down, i'm not looking for an answer
but at least not today
instead, entertain me for the moment
'cause this won't go away

too strong to be held tight,
too young to be told
too strong to be so tired
seems like i would know

(repeat chorus)

and speak to me, them sentence me
(and from the left side, the right side)
all that you see
turn me over and pound me out flat
then just let me be
