did you say such a thing

John Mellencamp

Did you say such a thing?
Did you say such a thing?
Word in the papers you were talking smack about me
Did you say such a thing?

I may not amount to much
In a lot of ways
But I can't be as bad
As the things that you've said

Did you say such a thing?
Why would you say such a thing?
Word out in the papers you've been talking smack about me
Did you say such a thing?

What people say about me don't amount to much
I guess it some may be true, but who can you trust
Did you say such a thing?
How come you said such a thing?

You say you keep the secret
It's just the people that you tell
Well, here's a little secret
You can go straight to hell

Did you say such a thing?
Did you say such a thing?
Word out on the corner
You've been talking shit about me
Did you say such a thing?
Now, did you say such a thing?

I guess I'll see you tomorrow
Unless you'd be gone
N?ver too soon for me
You got your bird seed all wrong

Did you say such a thing?
Did you say such a thing?
Word in the pap?r
You've been talking smack about me

Did you say such a thing?
Did you say such a thing?
Did you say such a thing?
Why would you say such a thing?
Why would you say such a thing?
Ah, the Lord loves a liar

Why would you say such a thing?
