Nanci Griffith - Say It Isn't So lyrics

rate me

(Nanci Griffith - Harlan Howard)

When you say I love you

Is it just because you know that's what I want to hear?

Lately friends are warning me

What they hesitate to tell me leaves a thread of fear

People talk around this town

And when the final truth comes down

There's only one thing left to do

It's come back 'round to you

(come back 'round to you)

Chorus

Say it isn't so

Tell me that you're someone

I'll believe in

Am I the last to know

That you don't love me anymore?

If you ever did

Say it isn't so

Am I caught up in a web

That you are weaving?

Oh, the stories I've been told

Indicate that you're already

Reachin' for the door

It's just a lover's situation

Are you in or out of love?

I've heard those words before

I've had to face up to the truth

Cuz staying and pretending

Would had hurt him more

Sometimes lovers stay too long

Sometimes they leave too soon

But there's only one thing left to do

It's come back 'round to you

(come back 'round to you)

Chorus

Oh, the stories I've been told

Baby say it isn't so
