lyrics

They Say
Words & Music: Chris Currie (2002)

They say she kisses just like Judas
They say she’ll turn your heart to stone
They say she’ll leave you with the weight of the world
Hanging on your bones

They say her story’s always changing
She sings a siren’s song
They say she’ll have you chasing everything
That you’ve had all along

Chorus
They say, they say
You must be crazy to chase a girl like that
(repeat)

Well I’ve been looking for a little mischief
They said I’d find a little pain
They said she’d hang me out to dry
And leave me standing in the rain

They say she’ll open up a world
That revolves around dispair
They say she’ll wine and dine your hopes
And then vanish in thin air

Chorus
…well I am

They say I never learn my lesson
They say someday I will see
That everything they told me of
Will surely come to be

They say I never listen
They say I will get what’s due
They say they knew my life was over
When she first walked in the room

But she just makes me feel alright (x12)

Chorus
… well I am.
