Pulp Fiction — "Say 'what' again" (v1)

Lyrics

That little word, it hangs there Catching breath, splitting the air
You're leaning in a slow stare Like there's something you need to unearth
My knuckles white on the table's edge A quiet dare, a steady pledge
Each time it leaves your lips My patience starts to slip
You've got that certain tone Makes my throat feel like stone
Yeah, you wanna know But you just won't let it go
Go on, just say what I can See what happens then
One more time, just one more sound Let's see how this plays out
I watch your jaw subtle twitch Like you're looking for the switch
To light a fuse, to start a fight With every word you hold me tight
It's not the question, it's the way You make me wanna walk away
But something, something keeps my feet stuck fast
How long can this quiet last?
You've got that certain tone Makes my throat feel like stone
Yeah, you wanna know But you just won't let it go
Go on, just say what I can See what happens then
One more time, just one more sound Let's see how this plays out
I hate this little game we play But you keep pushing, come what may
I don't wanna spell it out for you But I'm starting to think you want me too
One wrong breath, one wrong turn And every lesson starts to burn
Go on, just say what I can See what happens then
