[Intro] Hello? Why do I hear three people breathing? Take me off speaker. ⸻ [Verse 1] I rang to tell you something personal Nothing catastrophic Just mine Then somebody laughed in the background And suddenly I’m hosting A panel discussion You said “Oh, they’re just here” Lovely So are walls Use one ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I like your friends I like your sister That does not mean They require commentary On everything I tell you quietly ⸻ [Chorus] Don’t put me on speaker Without asking me first I might say I miss you I might say something worse Don’t put me on speaker Like privacy’s optional now If I wanted six opinions I would’ve started a group chat somehow Take me off Take me off Take me off speaker Baby, this conversation Only needs two people ⸻ [Verse 2] Last Tuesday I was complaining about work Your colleague said “Honestly, same” Who invited him? Then your mum answered one of my questions Before you did Lovely woman Wrong conversation ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I am not embarrassed By loving you I simply prefer Choosing my audience There is a difference Please locate it ⸻ [Chorus] Don’t put me on speaker Without asking me first I might say I want you In language unsuitable for lunch Don’t put me on speaker Then act surprised when I stop You can’t turn intimacy Into ambient noise And expect the same access you got Take me off Take me off Take me off speaker Baby, this conversation Only needs two people ⸻ [Bridge — beat reduced] Imagine I answered your call At dinner with my friends And said “Go on, babe Tell everybody what happened Sunday” Exactly. Now we understand each other. ⸻ [Break — layered vocals] Private Doesn’t mean secret Private Means mine to choose Private Doesn’t mean shame It means Ask before you use it ⸻ [Final Chorus] Don’t put me on speaker Without asking me first You get the unedited version Because I trust you with the words Don’t put me on speaker That access isn’t automatic Love is not a licence To make every conversation public Take me off Take me off Take me— [Fast descending run] O-o-o-off— Speaker [Layered outro] Two people Two people That’s plenty
