I'm doing nothing
'Cause then at least I'm doing nothing wrong
And I'm staying on my own
And turn off my telephone
But nothings gained, nothings won

Yeah, you can tell them,
Yeah, you can say whatever
I don't care, yeah
But if you wanna play it cool
Then I got news for you
It's getting hotter, hotter in here

So, when I speak, listen
This is my decision
But you keep on messing up the words (oh, oh, oh)
So when I speak, listen,
'Cause you keep on pushing,
Like I need permission to be heard (oh, oh, oh)
I'm gonna lift it, lift it
Higher
I'm gonna lift it, lift it
Higher
So when I speak, listen
This is my decision
But you keep on messing up the words

It's getting closer
I'm movin' in and there are things ya know,
And I am sick of playing games
And I'm not go'n say no names
But you are not who to blame

Yeah, you can turn off
Yeah, you can go ahead and put it straight
'Cause I am finishing myself
And I do not need your help
I'm gonna do this tonight

So, when I speak, listen
This is my decision
But you keep on messing up the words (oh, oh, oh)
So when I speak, listen
'Cause you keep on pushing
Like I need permission to be heard (oh, oh, oh)
I'm gonna lift it, lift it
Higher
I'm gonna lift it, lift it
Higher
So when I speak, listen
This is my decision
But you keep on messing up the words

I'm gonna lift it, lift it
When you say higher, I go higher
I'm gonna lift it, lift it
Yeah, you can try, but I go higher
I'm gonna lift it, lift it
The only thing that I've been tryin' to do is listen, so listen

So, when I speak, listen
This is my decision, (yeah, yeah)
But you keep on messing up the words (oh, oh, oh) (you keep on messing up my words)
So when I speak, listen
'Cause you keep on pushing
Like I need permission to be heard (oh, oh, oh)
I'm gonna lift it, lift it
Higher
I'm gonna lift it, lift it
Higher
So when I speak, listen
This is my decision
But you keep on messing up the words
