Out Loud
Syd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are we anything?
Or is it just out of my hands?
Out of my hands
I can't ignore it
Don't understand
Why you haven't told your friends
Tell them everything about me
How you feel around me
How you feel about it
You can't live without it
Tell them what I'm doing for you
That you know I adore you
Tell them, babe (tell 'em, baby)
Tell them, babe (tell 'em, babe)
Go ahead and say it
Go ahead and say it out loud
I want you to tell me right now
Usually you're running your mouth
Don't know what you're running
Don't know what you're running from now
I know where you're coming from now
I just wanna hear it out loud (say it out loud)
Go ahead and say it
Go ahead and say it out loud
I want you to tell me right now (say it out loud)
Usually you're running your mouth (say it out loud)
Don't know what you're running from now (say it out loud)
I know where you're coming from now (say it out loud)
I just wanna hear it out loud
Baby, go on and say it out loud
Speak up
Why all a sudden you're quiet?
Why suddenly you're shy?
Suddenly you ain't mine
You've been mine for some time
Making them sounds all night
Volume way too high
You could never deny me
To the ears of your neighbors
The eyes of the strangers
That watch us when we walk by
'Cause I've been loving you right
So what's with all the silence?
Baby, you don't gotta hide at all
Tell them everything about me
How you feel around me (ooh, how you feel)
How you feel about it
You can't live without it
Tell them what I'm doing for ya
Let 'em know that I adore ya (tell 'em)
Tell them, babe (tell 'em, baby)
Tell them, babe (tell 'em, babe)
Go ahead and say it (say it)
Go ahead and say it out loud (say it out loud)
I want you to tell me right now
Usually you're running your mouth (running your mouth)
Don't know what you're running
(Don't know what you're running)
Don't know what you're running from now (running from now, ooh)
I know where you're coming from now
(I know where you're coming from)
I just wanna hear it out
(I just wanna hear it out)
Go ahead and say it
Go ahead and say it out loud
I want you to tell me right now
Usually you're running your mouth (say it out loud)
Don't know what you're running from now
(Don't know what you're running from)
I know where you're coming from now
(I know where you're coming from now)
I just wanna hear it out loud (baby)
Baby, go on and say it out loud
