Asking for It Lyrics

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
We know all too well, it's a living hell

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

Caught up in the gutter once again
Crashing through the mud, throwing lies, cutting ties until the sidewalk ends
And the truth begins
Power through the point of no return
Famously arranged all the same I hope you change if that world is gonna turn
It's not my concern

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

(Oh oh oh)
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

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

What is the Meaning of Asking for It?

This track serves as a candid commentary on the consequences of one's actions and words. 🗣️ It emphasizes the importance of being mindful of what you say, to whom you say it, and how it can lead to unforeseen repercussions. The lyrics suggest that when someone is disrespectful or harmful with their speech, they are essentially 'asking for' negative outcomes. The recurring phrase "you were asking for it" underlines this idea of accountability for one's actions. It's a reminder that words are powerful and can often lead to situations where 'bad luck' may not be the only thing to blame. 🎭
