[Intro] Baby You have thousands of them Pick three [Verse 1] You sighed at breakfast Closed a cupboard slightly harder Moved your chair six inches back And apparently I’m meant to understand You’ve communicated one entire argument Through eyebrow choreography I adore you But I did not study this language professionally [Pre-Chorus] Say you’re annoyed Say you need space Say I got something wrong Anything, darling Except another meaningful spoon placement [Chorus] Please use your words Pretty ones Ugly ones Anything audible works Please use your words We’re both adults Allegedly Let’s give language a turn You’ve got nouns You’ve got verbs You’ve even got emotional vocabulary Please use your words I promise I can take it [Verse 2] Don’t make me ask “What’s wrong?” Seven increasingly irritated times Then say “Nothing” Like nothing has ever slammed a bedroom door If you need tonight alone Fine Tell me If I hurt you Say it I would rather hear a difficult sentence Than spend three hours decoding furniture [Bridge — playful stripped groove] Try this: “I’m tired” Excellent “I’m upset” Look at you “I need an hour” Stunning “I disagree” Honestly, groundbreaking [Final Chorus] Please use your words I won’t punish you for honesty Please use your words Don’t make silence carry everything You’ve got nouns You’ve got verbs You’ve got that beautiful mouth Please use your words Baby Open it now [Ad-lib run] Use ’em, use ’em, use ’em— Ooh-ooh-ooh!
