They Say

Artie Shaw

They say you have no lips for a fool such as I

They say you just believe in hello and goodbye.

And they say that the one I admire isn't even remotely concerned

And that I'll go on playing with fire

Until I learn, my heart has been burned.

They say I shouldn't dream of your face in the gloom.

They say that all my dreams will be nightmares too soon.

Let them talk. Let them say what they want to -

If it makes them feel happy that way -

I know I'll always love you - no matter what they say.
