Speak Low If You Speak Love - Have My Head lyrics

rate me

(Hook)

My mother would have my head if she knew what I did

She'd have my head if she knew what I did

(Verse)

You were the opposite of elegance, with a trace left of me on your fingertips

A compromise of body and mind for you

And everythin’ that I'd been taught turned as black as the hair on the back of your arm

Your olive skin retreated again that night

So I sat in my car with my head on the dash, waitin’ for this to pass

(Hook x 2)

(Verse)

Visions of you from three nights before haunted me as a slipped out the door

My rotten judgment rose above me once again

I spun in my stool hopin’ that you would give me the attention I was accustomed to

But it never came, you stayed the same: selfish, unkind and still in my way

(Bridge) x 3

We found ourselves tangled up in words we didn't mean

I'm guilty too but somehow everythin’ meant more to me

(Hook x 2)
