Talk It Up
Sammy Rae
[Verse 1]
Smoky walls, dusty halls, no one calls
And all the window plants are dying (la la la la..)
She'd talk it up, half empty cup, half-hearted love
Half of the time halfway through crying (ooh, ahh, ooh, ahh)

She don't live here by herself
Sleeping in the bed she's made
Reading books about self help
Working late on Saturdays
'Less she got something at stake

[Verse 2]
For heaven's sake, keep him awake, make no mistake
He break down daily with no warning
When you're 20 years old, do as you're told, get bought and sold
Its coldest early in the morning

And he's living on Tenth Street
Getting home right around dawn
Every night of every week
He's proving everybody wrong
Any day now, it won't be long
So listen when I say
[Chorus]
Don't you stop it now, c'mon and
Give 'em all what they came here for
Never been done the same before
Talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon and
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain, how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I came here for

[Verse 3]
I've been holding my own, my rag and bone, lock up alone
I don't forget to double check it, now, no no no no...
And I learned to rely on me and I, straighten my tie
Lace my own boots zip my own jacket

Because I did the best I could
I got taken down again
But I got fire in my blood
I got sugar on my skin
And I got no where to begin
So listen and I'll say

[Chorus]
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Give 'em all what they came here for
Never been done the same before
Talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain, how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I came here for
[Bridge]
See you get what you put in
So you cannot get upset
If you're just dipping your foot in
Because you don't wanna get wet
And you ain't made it big yet

[Chorus]
Don't you stop it
Give 'em all what they came here for
Gotta talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain, how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I'm doing it all for

Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Give 'em all what they came here for
Never been done the same before
Talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon and
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I came here for

Don't you stop it now, woah
Never been done the same
Talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain, how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I came here for
