Speak Soft Lyrics

Jerry had some beers and started to sing
He knows just what he means he don't mean a thing
He waited for the wisdom years would bring, to him
On theigerator door
Are the words he had written moments before
It says 'i hope i never have to go to war'

Speak soft, baby don't you talk to me,
To me, to me, to me

He goes to the dance and falls in love
Years later it's still her he's thinking of
She never spoke once or even looked up, enough

Speak soft, baby don't you talk to me,
To me, to me, to me

Houdini closed himself inside of a box
He didn't have a trick to spring the lock
Off the stage the people watched, the clock
Prison could be a nice place to live
The bars on the window like bars on a crib
Freedom is the least desired gift, to give

Speak soft, baby don't you talk to me,
To me, to me, to me

Jerry had some beers and started to weep
It's time to turn away, it's his time to sleep
Don't trouble yourself with seeking peace, go cheap
