Say it ain't so Joe please, say it ain't so
That's not what I wanna hear Joe and I got the right to know
Say it ain't so Joe please, say it ain't so
I'm sure they're tellin us lies
Joe please, tell us it ain't so

Oh baby don't you think we're gonna get burned (2 fois)
We're gone get turned, we're gonna get learned
We're gonna get burned

They told us that our hero had played his trump card
He does'nt know how to go on
We're clinging to his charms and determined smile
But the good old days have gone

Say it ain't so Joe please, say it ain't so
We've pinned our hopes on you Joe
And they're ruining our show

The image and the empire may be falling apart
The money has gotten scarce
One man's word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce

Say it ain't so Joe please, say it ain't so
I'm sure they're tellin us lies
Joe please, tell us it ain't so
