Say What You Mean

I can hear you talking
Don't know what you say
Say you [???]
But the truth gets in the way
Do you think you're fooling
When you're lying to yourself
You gotta stop and think about it
Before you lie to someone else

You gotta say what you mean
Mean what you say
Don't go getting lost in your foolish pride
You reap just what you sow
Brother don't you know
You can run, but you've got nowhere to hide
Nowhere to hide, no no

I don't understand
Why you do the things you do
Still the same old story
Did you think is something new
So many people act down and out
I saw it on the evening news, yeah, yeah
[???] it don't mattеr
'Cause they got nothing left to loosе

You gotta say what you mean
Mean what you say
Don't go getting lost in your foolish pride
You gotta reap just what you sow
Brother don't you know
You can run, but you've got nowhere to hide
Nowhere to hide

Keep right on tow here
You say you got it all
Ain't nobody listening
I can't hear you when you call
Hope you realize
It doesn't have to be, no, no
When you finally had enough
The truth will set you free

You gotta say what you mean
Mean what you say
Don't go getting lost in your foolish pride, baby
You gotta reap just what you sow
Brother don't you know
You can run, but you've got nowhere to hide
Nowhere to hide
Nowhere to hide
