The title track is about a troubled relationship, in which the woman is continuously verbally abusing the man. He is trying to explain to her that he understands where she’s coming from, and he doesn’t have to yell at her to get his point across.
[Verse 1]
Take a minute to tell you right
And you can say what you want
Turn around every night
So now you're always going off
Doesn't matter what I done
Or if I even crossed the line
You start to holler, go in for blood
Girl, it doesn't have to be a fight
[Pre-Chorus]
Throwing out the blame when you know it ain't my fault
Messing with my brain when you want to see me fall
There may come a time when I don't bother you at all
It isn't my call, it isn't my call
[Chorus]
Hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
(I hear ya! I hear ya!)
[Interlude: Timbaland]
There's no need to scream baby
I'm standing right in front of your face
I know sometimes we don't get along
So Chris sings the second verse to you, like this...
[Verse 2]
Take a minute to tell you now
And I don't have to raise my tone
Take the level and bring it down
I just want you to know
I got no trouble with what you said
I don't even think you're wrong
It's how you say it
You lose your head
Girl I'm standing right in front of you
[Pre-Chorus]
Throwing out the blame when you know it ain't my fault
Messing with my brain when you want to see me fall
There may come a time when I don't bother you at all
It isn't my call, it isn't my call
[Chorus]
Hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
(I hear ya! I hear ya!)
[Bridge]
Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden
Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden
(I hear ya! I hear ya!)
[Extended Chorus]
Hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I said hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
(I hear ya! I hear ya!)
Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden
Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden
(I hear ya! I hear ya!)
