I make sure at all times to use a speech bubble when I talk

That way I can at least count upon having a record of all I have to say

No one can have the satisfaction of being able to misquote me

Sometimes there are certain disadvantages though

I’ve been noticing that If I let me guard down and leave me words unattended

Someone can happen by conveniently and take them away

Stolen Words can do a lot of damage
