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)

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.
