SPEAK FOR YOURSELF

[Chorus]
Speak for yourself, I don't need nobody else’s
Permission from you, but nobody asked you
Speaking of lies that I told right past you
I was gonna say
It don't always have to be that way
No, it don't always have to be that way
It don’t always have to be that way
No, it don't always have to be that way

[Bridge]
Akane: Ah, who cares, so long as it's fun what's it matter?
Ranma: Right... didn't I already say that?

[Verse 1]
Now let me just think, think, think, think, think for a little while
And if you blink, blink, blink, blink, blink you'll miss out on all the friendship I gave you
All the things that I made for you
If I could just say that I think I was made for you
Don't lose your heart right from the start
You got to wait, and waiting's the hardest part
We break and we fall apart, but don’t forget where we are
I forgive you with all my heart, so let’s just take it back to

[Chorus]
Speak for yourself, I don't need nobody else’s
Permission from you, but nobody asked you
Speaking of lies that I told right past you
I was gonna say
It don't always have to be that way
No, it don't always have to be that way
It don't always have to be that way
No, it don’t always have to be that way

[Verse 2]
How many times I'm gonna hear what's better for me from someone who doesn't know me
I'm tired of being tied up and lonely
The mistakes coming from that's the old me
If I had one wish ,and one wish only
You'd just take the time to get to know me
Then we wouldn't have these misunderstandings
But apparently you hate the thought of commitment
You can't take what you can't give
No, you can't relate with what you ain't lived
Bet you think my words are hard to follow

[Chorus]
Speak for yourself, I don't need nobody else's
Permission from you, but nobody asked you
Speaking of lies that I told right past you
I was gonna say
It don't always have to be that way
No, it don't always have to be that way
It don't always have to be that way
No, it don't always have to be that way
