Sometimes you aim the world at me When i'm only standing still Sticks and stones got nothin' on The words you shoot to kill So maybe you're talkin' in your sleep Maybe i heard you wrong Maybe i like suffering So you can sing along Watch what you say This is no act And there's no double meaning To protect you from the fact That once you put it out there You can never take it back Once you put it out there You can never take it back Come on, come on and come with me Show me what i heard I've been burned too many times By that four-letter word So close your eyes and picture me Before you make a sound 'cause you oughta know That i'm not foolin' around Yeah Watch what you say This is no act And there's no double meaning To protect you from the fact That once you put it out there You can never take it back Once you put it out there You can never take it back Oh no - i can't believe Oh no - that you could love me Once you put it out there You will have to face the fact You have the right to remain silent
