lyrics

THEY SAY©

They say your life’s too 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
Swimmin’ 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

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
You been on that fence

Don’t try to get it
Don’t try to buy it
Don’t try to try it
They say. They say

Don’t try to steal it
Don’t try to deal it
Don’t try to do it
They say. They say

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

They say.
Try it. I tried it.
Was on that fence
You know that fence
You been on that fence
You climbed that fence
You built that fence

How to do your trip
Can’t tell you how
How to make it work
I can’t tell you how

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

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

So I do my trip
Can’t tell you how
But I make it work
Some way. Some how
Some way. Some how
Some Way,
