Before I Speak

One, two, three, four
 What's mine is yours, though you were never mine
 My gracious doors are, are open wide
 I gave my hand, I gave my whole life too
 But you took my plan, and turned it into bad, bad news
 I need an explanation, an emancipation
 From this revelation that I just can't bear
 I need some information, I need a real foundation
 You gotta have some wisdom that you'd like to share
 Tell me, how can you judge me
 Before we meet?
 Tell me, how can you hear me
 Before I, before I, before I speak?
 My heavy head, my heavy mind
 My skinny self is working overtime
 You ate my words and spit them out
 And those who heard are left without a doubt
 I need an explanation, an emancipation
 From this revelation that I just can't bear
 I need some information, I need a real foundation
 You gotta have some wisdom that you'd like to share
 How can you judge me
 Before we meet?
 Tell me, how can you hear me
 Before I, before I, before I speak?
 Before I, before I, before I speak?
 Before I, before I, before I speak?
 Mold me, fold me
 Take me anyway you want me
 Mold me, fold me
 Take me anyway you want me
 Mold me, fold me
 Take me anyway you want me
 Mold me, fold me
 Take me anyway you want
 How, how, how, how, how can you hug me
 Before we meet?
 And how can you hear me
 Before I, before I, before I
 One, two, three, four
 How can you judge me
 Before we meet?
 And tell me, how can you hear me
 Before I, before I, before I speak?
 Before I, before I, before I speak
 Before I, before I, before I speak
 Before I, before I, before I speak
 Before I, before I, before I speak
 Before I, before I, before I speak
