So, what I said is what I said and what you said is what you (G)meant.
And when you left my house in the morn ing, you wrote your mes sage on the ce ment,
you put the let ters and the num bers un der peo ple’s feet.
You took all of the deal ings and feel ings and wrote them on the street.
And ev ’ry bo dy, ev ’ry bo dy, ev ’ry bo dy knows.
And when I went out side and I saw it, I froze.
You put my se cret and your se cret un der peo ple’s feet.
You re mem bered what I said and you wrote it on the **** *** con crete.
So, what we do is what we do for me and you, not ev ’ry (G)one.
But out side, in the night, you were bu sy (G)writ ing down what we had done.
You seemed al right last night but (D)now I know that I was wrong.
And I guess you know how peo ple talk but it’s on ly words and it’s on ly chalk and I’ll feel (C)bet ter, may be when we get some (D)wea ther.
And ev ’ry bo dy, ev ’ry bo dy, ev ’ry bo dy knows.
And when I went out side and I saw it, I froze.
You re mem bered what I said and you wrote it on the street.
No, no, no, no.
You nev er been in love, you nev er been in love.
You nev er been in love, you nev er been in love.
You nev er been in love, you nev er been in love.
You nev er been in love, nev er been in love,
nev er been in love.
