"But You SAID...!"
"I would cry: "But you SAID...!",
Didn't matter much.
'Least not to you.,
You'd say: "Nope!, nuh-UH!, and No."
But I'd say: "But you SAID...!"
Didn't matter all that much.
'Least not to you.
Power ain't all that good if you use it wrong.
So don't go on and be that person who says:
"Nope!, nuh-UH!, and No."
When you say something, MEAN it, don't BEAT IT.
