That's What She Said
Backstreet Boys · Backstreet's Back
Who say what you wanna hear
Even on a rainy day
They tell you the sky is clear
When you really really love someone
Am I right when I say
That you want them near
And if you can, you'll even tell
Them things that they wanna hear
Chorus:
Always, forever
All the things she said
Never say never
Those simple lies that she fed
I will never leave you
All the love I thought she had
But can you blame me
No
Mmmm
Cuz that's what she said
That's what she said
She told me we'd see forever
That's what she said
She said
Yeah
(1)
And there are people who
Say what they really mean
She said she'd always be there
She said she'd always care
But just when you think that you can trust that someone you love
Tell me
Well how do you know
How stars can fall from above
Chorus(1)
That's what she said
She told me we'd be together
That's what she said,she said ya
Cause you made promises
That you couldn't keep
But you're not hurting yourself
You're only hurting me
Why would you say things
That you really didn't mean
Oh how can I make you see
Just what you did to me
You said how much
You really cared
Just when I thought I was in love
Girl, how could you dare
If I were you I could not
Lie even once
To the face of the one
That I love so much
Chorus(1)
