December
Collective Soul · 1995
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- Don't scream about, don't think aloud
- Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
- Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt
- Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Echo the hook
- December promise you gave unto me
- December whispers of treachery
- December clouds are now covering me
- December songs no longer I sing
