Why you acting so reserved? Talk to me, girl What? Is that all you got to say? What what? You're rubbing me the wrong way See your lips moving But I don't catch a word you say Shut up your chatter I need for you to go away And all I ever hear is ay ya ya ya ya You're talking way too much I can't even hear me now All your noise is messing with my head You're in my head, get outta my head Outta my, outta my head want you outta my head Outta my, outta my head get outta my head Outta my, outta my head want you outta my head outta my, outta my head that's what i said What You looking at me for? Show me respect, or I will show you the door Get out that door Lately, I've a problem with the way that you behave You're too much And all your questions don't leave me no time for me And all I ever hear is ay ya ya ya ya You're talking way too much I can't even hear me now All your noise is messing with my head You're in my head, get outta my head Outta my, outta my head want you outta my head Outta my, outta my head get outta my head Outta my, outta my head want you outta my head outta my, outta my head that's what i said All your opinions, keep them to yourself Just let me think so I can hear myself Wouldn't it be nice if I could just go solo, take a day off? I'd be all right if you would leave me to it, back out the door Ay ya ya ya, you're talking way too much You tell me one more time how I should live I swear I'll bite your head off I am who I am, and I can't be no one else You've got nothing left to say, keep your comments to yourself
