You know you gotta talk less
Try to hear more
Set the stage
In clearer ways we can engage

I know in truth I win
I win if I give in
Compromise
Empathize to the story in your eyes

Emotional intelligence
It leads us to our own personal excellence
Not defined by circumstance
No longer blind with arrogance
Emotional intelligence
Emotional intelligence

I don't need to be right
No more will I fight
If it means that much to you, we'll see it through

There are no haunting ghosts in the feedback you give
With energy empower me, by your honesty

Emotional intelligence
The conscience in your head, proof and the evidence
Don't let panic take the wheel
Designate just how you feel
Emotional intelligence
Emotional intelligence

Oh, will I ever learn

The source of all true confidence
The course toward a noble stance
Emotional intelligence
Not defined by ignorance
It may be our only chance
Our one last chance
