Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Leave me dusty and alone
Feelin' psychotic in my own home
But you keep callin' me out
I am not the enemy, what's this about?
[PreChorus]
I don't wanna waste your time
Oh, don't you waste my time
I don't wanna waste your time
Oh, don't you waste my time
I don't wanna waste your time
Ayy, boy, don't you waste my time
I don't wanna waste your time
[Chorus]
Why don't you speak to me?
Why don't you speak to me?
Why don't you tell me all the mothafuckin' things, to me?
Why don't you speak to me?
[Verse 2]
Hey, I wanna kiss you again
Flower thirsty for shady men
Confess to watching you while you sleep
Wake up, confess your lovin' to me
[Bridge]
Can I trust you?
Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Are you the new Sammy Sosa?
New skin
New skin
Can I trust you?
Where have you been?
Are you the new Sammy Sosa?
New skin
[Chorus]
Why do you speak to me?
Why don't you? Why don't you?
Why do you speak to me?
Why don't you?
Why don't you tell all them mothafuckin' things?
Why don't you?
Why don't you speak to me?
I need you to
[PostChorus]
Goin' through some things
I got some things
For you
You're goin' through some things
I got some things
For you
[Outro]
Why don't you speak to me?
