ALPHAVILLE - SAY IT AIN'T SO, JOE lyrics

rate me

say it ain't so, joe, please, say it ain't so

that's not what i wanna hear, joe and i got the right to know

say it ain't so, joe, please, say it ain't so

i'm sure, they're telling us lies, joe,

please, tell us it ain't so

they told us that our hero has played his trump card

he doesn't know how to go on

we're clinging to his charms and determined smile

but the good old days have gone

the image and the empire may be falling apart

the money has gotten scarce

one man's word held the country together

but the truth is getting fierce

say it ain't so, joe, please, say it ain't so

we've pinned our hopes on you, joe and they're ruining our show

ooh babies, don't you think we're gonna get burned

ooh babies, don't you think we're gonna get burned

we're gonna get turned

we're gonna get learned

we're gonna get burned

we're gonna get learned

say it ain't so, joe, please, say it ain't so

that's not what i wanna hear, joe and i got the right to know

say it ain't so, joe, please, say it ain't so

i'm sure, they're telling us lies, joe,

please, tell us it ain't so

say it ain't so, joe..
