Say It Ain't So

Somebody's hiding his sad on my icebox
Somebody's cold one, is givin' me chills
Plus and the cold in my eyes...oh yeah!
It feels good...
Flip on the tele'
Wrestle with Jimmy
Something is bubbling behind my back
The bottle is ready, to blow
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a lifetaker
Yeah - I can't confront you I never could do
That which might hurt you to try and be cool
When I say
This way is a waterslide away from me
That takes your further every day...
Uhh, so be cool - Yeah!
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a lifetaker
Dear Daddy, I write you in spite of years of silence
You've cleaned up, found Jesus, things are good or so I hear
This bottle of Steven's awakens ancient feelings
Like father, stepfather the son is drowning in the flood!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Ohhhhh!
Your sorry!
