Say It Isn't So - Live 1985

Say it
Ooh, say it isn't so
Say it isn't so, girl
Say it
Ooh, say it isn't so
Say it isn't so, girl

Say it isn't so painful
To tell me that you're dissatisfied
The last time I asked you, I really got a lame excuse
I know that you lied

Now wicked things can happen
You see 'em goin' down in war
But when you play in a quiet way
That bites it even more

(Say it) tell me what you want
Yeah, I'll do it, baby, I promise right now
(Say it) who propped you up when you were stopped
Low motivation had you on the ground?

I know your first reaction
You slide away, hideaway, goodbye
But if there's a doubt, maybe I can give out
A thousand reasons why you have to say it isn't so

(It isn't so) say it isn't so
(It isn't so) oh no, say it isn't so
(It isn't so, no) now say it isn't so
(It isn't so)

We like to be the strangers at the party
Two rebels in a shell
(Say it) you like to move with the best of them
You know we move so well

Don't need someone to lean on
I know that there's an open door
But if I'm faced with being replaced
I want you even more
So, baby, say it isn't so

(It isn't so) now say it isn't so
(It isn't so) oh no, say it isn't so
(It isn't so, no) oh, now say it isn't so
(It isn't so) oh-oh-oh-oh

Don't say it, baby
Why you wanna go?
Why I have to say?
Do you wanna go?
Ooh, oh, baby, say it isn't so

Sa-sa-say it isn't so
(Say it isn't) why you have to say it isn't?
(Say it isn't) oh
(Say it isn't) so
(Don't say it isn't) I know it's so hard for you

(Say it isn't) oh
(Say it isn't) don't say it, baby
(Don't say it isn't)
Yeah, if it's so
(Say it isn't) don't have to
(Say it isn't) don't mind the way
(So say it isn't) oh, you don't have to say

(Say it isn't) say
(Say it isn't) ah, you don't have to say it, girl
(Say it isn't) don't you know I wanna make you?
(Say it isn't) oh
(Say it isn't) oh
(Don't say it isn't) no, alright, girl
Don't say it, girl
You don't have to say it
Don't say it, no, no
Say it isn't so
