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

Say it isn't so painful 
To tell me that you're dissatisfied 
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 on 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 hide away, 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) 
I say it isn't so, oh, no 
(It isn't so) 

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

(Say it) 
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, we move so well 

Don't need someone to lean on 
I know where 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) 
Oh, oh, say it isn't so, oh-oh, no 
(It isn't so) 

I say it isn't so 
(It isn't so) 
Oh, say it isn't so, oh oh oh, yeah 
(It isn't so) 

Say it, say it isn't so 
Say it, say it isn't so 
Say it, say it isn't so 
Why you gonna go 
Do you have to say you wanna go 

Ooh, ooh baby, say it isn't 
(Say it isn't) 
Say, say, say it isn't 
(Say it isn't) 
So 
(So say it isn't) 

Why do you have to say it isn't so 
(Say it isn't) 
(Say it isn't) 
So 
(So say it isn't) 

I know it's so hard for you 
(Say it isn't) 
So hard 
(Say it isn't) 

Don't say, baby 
(So, say it isn't) 
There must be some other way 
(Say it isn't) 
Don't have to 
(Say it isn't) 

Some other way 
(So say it isn't) 
Aah, you don't have to say 
(Say it isn't) 
(Say it isn't) 

Some say it isn't 
You know I'm won't make you 
(Say it isn't) 
(Say it isn't)
