Say it Twice

Say It Twice Say it twice I thought you’d— I said, “I’m done.” You said, “All right.” I thought you’d make me say it twice. Thought you’d stop, ask what I meant— anything but turn and go. I meant every word. I just thought you’d make me say it twice.

I said, “I’m done.” You said, “All right.” I thought you’d make me say it twice. Thought you’d stop, ask what I meant— anything but turn and go. I meant every word. You never made me say it twice. And say it twice. And say it twice. I meant every word. You never made me say it twice.
