Singer:Alexandra Burke
Song:Elephant

You wanna talk, you wanna talk about it
Wanna talk, you wanna talk about it? (eh, eh, eh)
You wanna talk, you wanna talk about it,
Wanna talk, you wanna talk about it? (eh, eh, eh)
How you doing?, How was your day?
Small talk, small talk you wanna play?
You getting further, further away
No kiss, no hug, just blank

And I just can't figure out,
How it all turned upside down
And when I look at you right now,
It's strange 'cause...

I know something going on with,
That's going on with you,
I think you should tell me
You've got nothing left to lose

[Chorus]
Ah, there's an elephant standing¹ in the room
Ah, though we're all alone
It's not just me and you

You wanna talk, you wanna talk about it,
Wanna talk, you wanna talk about it? (eh, eh, eh)
You wanna talk, you wanna talk about it?
There's an elephant in the room
Oh you wanna, wanna explain?
Well your talk is cheap cheap just say

You say you're sorry, say you're to blame
And you promise and you swear you'll change

And I just can't figure out,
How it all turned upside down
And when I look at you right now,
It's strange 'cause...

I know something going on with,
That's going on with you,
I think you should tell me
You've got nothing left to lose

[Chorus]
Ah, there's an elephant standing in the room
Ah, though we're all alone
It's not just me and you

You wanna talk, you wanna talk about it,
Wanna talk, you wanna talk about it? (eh, eh, eh)
You wanna talk, you wanna talk about it?
There's an elephant in the room

[Bridge]
And it's crushing² me, there's no room to breath
Got me backed against the wall back there
And I just can't see, 'cause it's blinding me
Coming closer, I can't relax

[Outro]
You wanna talk, you wanna talk about it
Wanna talk, you wanna talk about it? (eh, eh, eh)
You wanna talk, you wanna talk about it,
Wanna talk, you wanna talk about it? (eh, eh, eh)
