Speak Lyrics - The Roches

The time has come for me to speak 

Uh, oh the time has come 

And while the silence picks on me 

I pray not be dumb 

So I am hunting for the words 

Just wait 'til I find some 

I need some syllables do you 

Know where to get them from? 

When I am in my house alone 

My speeches take a week 

But from my lips when you are near 

A sound will seldom leak 

When I was a little girl 

I coined a mighty text 

Looking back I blush to hear 

What I'd come out with next 

It's now the time for me to speak 

But what if they talk back 

Oh when I open up my beak 

Let's hope that I can quack 

And if I do look out, beware 

The truth is hard to take 

And everything for all I care 

Can jump into a lake, yeah 

It's now the time for me to speak 

But what if they talk back 

Oh when I open up my beak 

Let's hope that I can quack, quack
