lyrics

THEY SAY

They say your life’s not long
Don’t hesitate too long
Cause time goes by
Bye, bye
Bye, bye

They say you take too long
They say you sleep all day
You think you’re smart
They think you’re dumb
What gives? What’s up?

What gives? What’s up?
No fun. No fun no more
No Fun, Swim’n in the fudge

I do my trip, can’t tell you how
But I make it work
Some way, some how

Some way, some how
Some way, some how
Bow wow. Wow, Bow wow. Wow, Wow (1:10)

Can’t do it. Don’t’ do it
Won’t do it
Not for you. Not for me

They say,
Try it. I bought it
Was on that fence

You know that fence (1:30)
You been on that fence (yeah you put me there before)
(I’m slipp’n)
Don’t try to get it
Don’t try to buy it
Don’t try to try it
They say.

Don’t try to steal it
Don’t try to deal it
Don’t try to do it
They say. They say (2:13)

Can’t do it. Don’t do it (2:30)
Won’t do it.
Not for you. Not for me

They Say, Try It
I tried it, I tried it and was on that fence
Was on that fence, You know that fence
You been on that fence, you climbed that fence.
You built that fence

So I do my trip (2:56)
I Can’t tell you how
How I make it work
I can’t tell you how

Can’t do it. Don’t do it (3:12)
Won’t do it.
Not for you. Not for me

Can’t do it. Don’t do it (3:22)
Won’t do it.
Not for you. Not for me

Not for you, (3:31)
Can’t you see, Can’t you see

So I do my trip (3:38)
Can’t tell you how,
Someway, Somehow
Gonna make it work

Someway, somehow (3:53)
Some way. Some how
So Can You, So Can You

BY, BY

They say you take too long
They say you sleep too much
You think you’re smart
They think you’re dumb
What gives? What’s up?
What gives? What’s up?

No Fun , No Fun
It’s just no Fun, No Fun

No Fun , No Fun
It’s just no Fun, No Fun

They Say, They Say
