Talk or Take a Walk
Laura Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Put your cards on the table, don't fool around
Just quit with the maybe's, now take a vow
Show me your true face to conquer me now
Or else you might as well turn around
You may believe I got an attitude problem
But I don't wanna be hurt, I wanna love ya
You better be unfeigned or this is gotta end now
Do you want to throw it all away

Show me that you understand
and that you wanna be my man
From this time on
I need to know
where I stand
or you can say goodbye baby
spit the truth
don't tell me lies
and hide behind your disguise
You better hear me out now yeah
listen to this these words I need to say

No matter where we go from here
I just wanna make things clear
This is the way I feel
so talk or take a walk and let go
Cut out with the silly games
Don't turn it, giving me the blame
I just wanna see you change
so talk or take a walk and let go

Now heatin' up, let me recount
How can you carry on to disavow
It seems to bother you, the talk of the town
And that your control is fallin' down
How much more time will you be needing
How much more lines will you be reading
I know your book by heart now yeah every page
Do you want to throw our love away

Show me that you understand
and that you wanna be my man
From this time on
I need to know
where I stand
or you can say goodbye baby
Speak the truth
don't tell me lies
and hide behind your disguise
You better hear me out now yeah
listen to this these words I need to say

No matter where we go from here
I just wanna make things clear
This is the way I feel
so talk or take a walk and let go
Cut out with the silly games
Don't turn it, giving me the blame
I just wanna see you change
so talk or take a walk and let go

Needing the answers
to all of my questions
Alone or together
I told you what I had to say

I just wanna see you change
so talk or take a walk and let go
I just wanna see you change
so talk or take a walk and let go

No matter where we go from here
I just wanna make things clear
This is the way I feel
so talk or take a walk and let go
Cut out with the silly games
Don't turn it, giving me the blame




I just wanna see you change
so talk or take a walk and let go
