Speak
April 6, 2010
One word
Just one simple little word is all I need
What is wrong with me?
It’s as simple as can be.
Just go over and say it
It’ll spark the conversation
Just give it a try
It’s as simple as can be.
Don’t be such a chick
There’s nothing to be nervous about
Even a two year old can say it
It’s as simple as can be.
Why can’t I speak?
Every time I try
My mouth is frozen shut
Even though it’s as simple as can be.
One word
Just one simple little
Just speak “Hello”
Now was that so hard?
