I'm doing nothing;
Coz then at least I'm doing nothing wrong.
And I'm staying on my own,
And turn off my telephone,
But nothing's gained, nothing's won.

Yeah, you can tell them,
Yeah, you can say whatever;
I don't care, yeah.
But if you wanna play it cool,
Then I got news for you,
It's getting hotter, hotter in here...

So, when I speak, listen
This is my decision,
But you keep on messing up the words (oh, oh, oh)
So when I speak, listen,
Coz you keep on pushing,
Like I need permission to be heard (oh, oh, oh)
I'm gonna lift it, lift it,
Higher!
I'm gonna lift it, lift it,
Higher!
So when I speak, listen,
This is my decision,
But you keep on messing up the words.

It's getting closer,
I'm movin' in and yeah I think you know,
And I am sick of playing games,
And I'm not go'n say no names,
But you and I know who to blame.

Yeah, you can tell 'em
Yeah, you can go ahead and put it straight,
Coz I am finishing myself,
And I do not need your help,
I'm gonna do this tonight.

So, when I speak, listen
This is my decision,
But you keep on messing up the words (oh, oh, oh)
So when I speak, listen,
Coz you keep on pushing,
Like I need permission to be heard (oh, oh, oh)
I'm gonna lift it, lift it,
Higher!
I'm gonna lift it, lift it,
Higher!
So when I speak, listen,
This is my decision,
But you keep on messing up the words.

I'm gonna lift it, lift it...
When you say higher, I go Higher!
I'm gonna lift it, lift it...
Yeah, you can try, but I go Higher!
I'm gonna lift it, lift it...
The only thing that I've been tryin' to do is listen, so listen!

So, when I speak, listen
This is my decision, (yeah, yeah!)
But you keep on messing up the words (oh, oh, oh) (You keep on messing up my words!)
So when I speak, listen,
Coz you keep on pushing,
Like I need permission to be heard (oh, oh, oh)
I'm gonna lift it, lift it,
Higher!
I'm gonna lift it, lift it,
Higher!
So when I speak, listen,
This is my decision,
But you keep on messing up the words.
