Song Title: You Say. Style: ALT

Verse 1

Why's it got to be so bad, because you say so?

And why's it got to be so sad, because you say so?

Why you got to hate so hard, hide your love so far. Why's it got to be so bad?

Verse 2

Why's it got to be your way and nothing else”

Why's it only what you understand and nothing else?

Why you got to look at color, why you got those inclinations, why's it got to be your way?

Bridge

Say a woman can't love a woman, a man can't love a man. How can you try to hold the world in the palm of your hand?

A black one can't love a white one, the moon can't love the sun. And all your words keep slipping through your fingers like grains of sand.

Verse 3

Why's it got to be so bad, because you say so?

And why's it got to be so sad, because you say so?

Why you got to hate so hard, hide your love so far. Why's it got to be so bad?

Verse 4

Why's it got to be your way and nothing else”

Why's it only what you understand and nothing else?

Why you got to look at color, why you got those inclinations, why's it got to be your way?

Bridge

Say a woman can't love a woman, a man can't love a man. How can you try to hold the world in the palm of your hand?

A black one can't love a white one, the moon can't love the sun. And all your words keep slipping through your fingers like grains of sand.
