Say It Isn't So

The Outfield · Playlist: The Very Best Of The Outfield [2011]

You got me all screwed up

So much I can't turn 'round

and I've been running about with some funny girls

I'm not so tough,

but if you let me down (I'll tell ya)

I'd give you just one day to explain

I'd like to know if there's somebody else in this game



Say it isn't so, tell me I'm the only one

Say it isn't so, without you I can't go on

How was I to know, if you keep me guessing I don't understand



I can't sleep at night

I keep on dreaming you're gone

I'm staring into a space that was filled by your face

Facing the day,

a face in the crowd

I'm sure I saw you just a moment ago

There must be something you don't want me to know



Say it isn't so, you got that magic touch

Say it isn't so, the one that I need so much

How was I to know, if you keep me guessing I don't understand



There's something wrong, suspicion's getting stronger

Don't know if I can stand this pain much longer

You play around but I see right through you



It's lonely on the streets when it's just one a.m.

See a lot of pretty girls passing by

I'm walking in the midnight sun once again,

and now I know why love is so blind,

cos when you're out of my sight,

I'm out of your mind,



Say it isn't so, tell me I'm the only one

Say it isn't so, without you I can't go on

How was I to know, if you keep me guessing I don't understand



Say it isn't so

Say it isn't so

Say it isn't so

Say it isn't so
