Speak Softly Lyrics

(Chorus)
Speak to me softly now
I swear you’ll never live this down
We move so slowly now
Now that you know your sin is out
-
Lust so carelessly
But were you ever free, (yeah)
Temptation’s lost its way
No longer I’m astray
=
If you can’t hold out
Then keep your volume down
+
(Chorus)
Speak to me softly now
I swear you’ll never live this down
We move so slowly now
Now that you know your sin is out
-
Give me your all
Stares pierce your skin
And society won’t be forgiving
of you this time
-
From time to time
You will learn just how to regret
who you let inside
=
So keep your volume down
+
(Chorus)
Speak to me softly now
I swear you’ll never live this down
We move so slowly now
Now that you know your sin is out
-
Your sin is out
-
Lust so carelessly
But were you ever free, (yeah)
Temptation’s lost its way
No longer I’m astray
+
(Chorus)
Speak to me softly now
I swear you’ll never live this down
We move so slowly now
Now that you know your sin is out, is out

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
