Asking for It
Shinedown

[Verse 1]

Can I have a moment of your time?

Just a single second so you see that indeed we’ll be leaving you behind before I cross that line

Turn it up so you can hear the bells crashing through the clouds as it rain down the drain

That we know all too well, it’s a living hell


[Chorus]

Careful what you say and who you say and who you say it to

Careful what you say and who you say it to

Baby you talked too much and you were asking for it, asking for it, asking

You can blame bad luck but you were asking for it, asking for it, asking

When all is said and done, you need to tie your tongue

Cause when you spit on everyone

You were arguing and now you’re asking for it, asking for it, asking


[Verse 2]

Caught up in the gutter once again

Crashing through the mud, throwing lies, cutting ties 'til the sidewalk ends

And the truth begins

Power through the point of no return

Famously deranged all the same, hope you change if that world is gonna turn

It’s none of my concern


[Chorus]

Careful what you say and who you say and who you say it to


Careful what you say and who you say it to

Baby you talked too much and you were asking for it, asking for it, asking

You can blame bad luck but you were asking for it, asking for it, asking

When all is said and done, you need to tie your tongue

Cause when you spit on everyone

You were arguing and now you’re asking for it, asking for it, asking


[Bridge]

You are, you are, you are, you are, you are, asking for it

You are, you are, you are, you are, you are, asking for it


[Chorus]

Careful what you say and who you say and who you say it to

Careful what you say and who you say it to

Baby you talked too much and you were asking for it, asking for it, asking

You can blame bad luck but you were asking for it, asking for it, asking

When all is said and done, you need to tie your tongue

Cause when you spit on everyone

You were arguing and now you’re asking for it, asking for it, asking


You know you’re asking for it, asking for it

You know you’re asking for it, asking!
