You say, You say
I will never survive one day
You say, You say
I'm just another girl, anyway
But I say, I say
You arn't the guy I fell in love with
I can beat you with broken sticks
I can love you sans your tricks
But, You say, You say
It's over babe
I'm done, gone, here
You say, You say,
I'm just a useless girl,
Full of tears
I say, I say,
You're an idiot
Pivoting on a teardrop
I'm elegant, smooth
Rich and imposing
You are so amused
So dreadfully confused
And then...
YOU SAY, YOU SAY
Don't leave me girl
And I SAY, I SAY
I'm sick of you, you ragged fool
Twisted hearts,
Twisted strings
Faltered changes
Upon the leaves of pure gold
Upon the streaks in your sky
Blue, Red, slashing across the melting pot of life
and then, YOU SAY, YOU SAY
come back to me, i'm sorry
and I SAY, I SAY
NO. I've heard that too much
