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 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.
