I Don't Argue Twice

Intro

Verse 1 I said it once, I said it low and clear Didn't raise my hand, didn't raise my tone You keep talkin' like I ain't standin' here Like the second time's gonna change the stone I ain't got the patience for a debate Ain't gonna dance in circles 'round your pride You want to keep on pokin' at the gate? Fine — but the answer already died inside

Chorus I don't argue twice, I said it once Said it calm, said it clear, said it plain You want to push a quiet man past patience? Go on — but don't go cryin' 'bout the pain

Verse 2 Some men need to hear it forty times Need to talk it dead 'til they feel right I ain't wastin' one more breath or dime Words are done, boy — now it's black and white

Chorus I don't argue twice, I said it once Said it calm, said it clear, said it plain You want to push a quiet man past patience? Go on — but don't go cryin' 'bout the pain

Bridge A first word's a mercy, a warning, a gift A second word's a fight you started, not me I don't repeat, I don't reload, I don't shift — I just close the book on what was gonna be I don't argue twice, I said it once Said it calm, said it clear, said it plain You want to push a quiet man past patience? Go on — but don't go cryin' 'bout the pain

Outro Said it once. That's all you get.
