Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're taking too loud
Won't you walk over, whisper
Motion hands or bat a lash?
You gotta see
There's too many eyes
You're walkin' too fast
Why the hurry? Let me pace myself
No need to run a lap
You gotta lead
You gotta lead
[Verse 2]
You got to lose
You got to lose
You got to lose sometime
You got to lose
You got to lose
You got to lose sometime
[Verse 3]
Hear what I say
When you waltz over, whistle
And you try to have your way
You gotta see, you felt the same
You come in today
With a hop in your step
You kinda marvel at yourself
You gotta breathe
You gotta breathe
[Verse 4]
You got to lose
You got to lose
You got to lose sometime
You got to lose
You got to lose
You got to lose sometime
[Verse 5]
Cowardice
You felt it yourself
You're tellin' lies
You've said too much
[Verse 6]
You got nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose this time
[Verse 7]
You got nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose this time
[Verse 8]
You got nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
