I wanna yell at you
Spew angry curses.
But I can’t tell you what I think,
Because the outcome would be adverse.
If I shouted at you,
Told you exactly what I thought;
You would never speak to me again
And my desire, this is not.

Chorus:
I just wanna scream.
I just wanna shout.
I just wanna yell,
But I gotta shut my mouth.
I gotta keep quiet
Stifle all I feel
Because if I speak my mind
Everyone makes it a big ordeal.

I try to make you understand
See the why I’m right;
But you are so caught up in your mind
You’ll never see my sight.
To you, you’re the only one
That makes any sense.
Everyone else to you 
Is full of nonsense.
 

Chorus:
I just wanna scream.
I just wanna shout.
I just wanna yell,
But I gotta shut my mouth.
I gotta keep quiet
Stifle all I feel
Because if I speak my mind
Everyone makes it a big ordeal.

I am myself.
But I cannot be
Who I am;
Really truly me.
If I try,
The disasters, do fly.
So inside I’m screaming so loud
But I can only silently cry.

Chorus:
I just wanna scream.
I just wanna shout.
I just wanna yell,
But I gotta shut my mouth.
I gotta keep quiet
Stifle all I feel
Because if I speak my mind
Everyone makes it a big ordeal.  ©
