Oh, I've been sitting in this smoky room all night
and I've had just about enough to speak my mind
If I could find the words, I'd open your eyes,
but I just keep thinking, In time
Man you've got to share a little, you've got so much to give
but your life ain't the only one to live
So let's turn it down and dial it back a bit
And if imitation is the highest flattery,
well I'd say we've already got enough of me
All the things of mine you say you're coveting,
a moment ago, didn't mean a thing
And now you use the hammer called jealousy to drive a wedge between you and me
Let's turn it down and dial it back a bit
You know it's real thick
(But it's real and I feel that it's hurting your agenda)
And I don't want to feel this
(But I do and I knew that I just couldn't tell you)
But you'll see when it fits
Now back to the dialogue, remember that word?
I know you've got some things that need to be heard,
but consideration grades ahead of the curve
And if you don't listen, you won't learn
When all I hear is talk-talk-a-talking
And if we don't understand, we default to mocking, so
let's turn it down and dial it back a bit
Let's turn it down and dial it back a bit
