Balu Brigada Could You Not
[Intro]
Could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so—
[Verse 1]
Small talk, so cheap, don't speak
Play me on repeat, play me on repeat
Play me on repeat, play me on—
Neat like whiskey, beats like Whitney, skin so fair
Got a light? Like yeah
Got a light right here
Can I borrow it? Yeah
Can I clear the air? I'm about to share
See, I'm not so mathematical, I'm not such a radical
But I make it rad and then I made him sad
'Cause I never had the same feel he had
Oh, you mean the one he had
When he said he had that
[Pre-Chorus]
Early morning sickness when he came around
Thought it was a good fit underneath his arm
Now you wanna give this a second thought
I don't wanna hear this, just give him a call
Or could you not?
Could you not bare to tell him?
Ok, you better say it, go on and say it
[Chorus]
But could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so—
[Verse 2]
Or could you not?
Could you not feel it too?
Feel me separate from you
Golden girl, castaway, baby blue
Drifting far from your island
Further into the sunset
So far off in the distance
Further still 'till the rock hit
Never checked out the milage
Didn't map out the currents
Shipped it off to different continents
And am I making sense? No, I'm making stories
It's awful boring to play it safe when you know your more than just a ship with an anchor, ball and chain
I should thank you the things that you made me feel when I was down and so valuable
Still so young, guess I'm malleable
Shook me up now I'm someone new
I feel so bad for putting you through a purgatory, then a mortuary, then a funeral
And was it necessary? No
Is this any clearer? No
(Rather have that)
[Pre-Chorus]
Early morning sickness when he came around
Thought it was a good fit underneath his arm
Now you wanna give this a second thought
I don't wanna hear this, just give him a call
Or could you not?
Could you not bare to tell him?
Ok, you better say it, go on and say it
[Chorus]
But could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so—
[Bridge]
I don't really have an explanation
I know you're probably mad at me and I totally get that
I just wish you'd never met me (Never met me)
There's some things I feel like maybe you thought you knew about me, but really you don't
Anyway, I'm sorry
Maybe call me, maybe
(I don't really have an explanation)
(Maybe call me, maybe)
Still got that
[Pre-Chorus]
Early morning sickness when he came around
Thought it was a good fit underneath his arm
Now you wanna give this a second thought
I don't wanna hear this, just give him a call
Or could you not?
Could you not bare to tell him?
Ok, you better say it, go on and say it
[Chorus]
But could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so loud?
(Could you not speak so loud?)
Could you not speak so loud?
(Could you not speak so loud?)
[Outro]
Can we keep it on the down low?
Still sharing a pillow
I'll be there when the cards fall
But could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so loud?
Could you not speak so—
