Aimee Mann - Say Anything

You see me as a judge


Though I deny it


And hold me like a grudge


Then justify it


But when you make such claims


In searching for something that explains


Please take a good look at our remains





’cause if you were everything you say


Things would be different today


And maybe there’s room for compromise


But signs that I get say otherwise


Say anything’cause I’ve heard everything





As hopeless as it seems


I wouldn’t worry


You’ll get your chance to tell


Your side of the story


Andraising your right hand


Whatever defenses you had planned


Remember that when you take the stand -





If you were everything you say


Things would be different today


And though I’d be happy to believe


I’d have to be much more naive -


Say anything’cause I’ve heard everything


Now I’ve heard everything


Now I’ve heard everything





So why do I refuse


The truthwhen I clearly cannot use


The comfort of one more lame excuse





’cause if you were everything you say


Things would be different today


And if you were everything you swear


We wouldn’t be beyond repair


If you were everything you say


Things would be different today


And if there has got to be an if -


Get it over with


Say anything’cause I’ve heard everything


Now I’ve heard everything


Now I’ve heard everything
