[Verse 1]
Well, well, what do I say?
Looks like what goes around, comes around
And everyone will have their final say
Sometime, someday
Looks like I only love God when the sun shines my way
Looks like I'm into divinity only when I can see its sweet, sweet rays
[Chorus]
I say what I mean, but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out today
I say what I mean, but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out
[Verse 2]
Well, well, what do I say?
I've never seen a bad day look quite this way
And well, well, what do I do
When all of my thoughts run right back to you?
Looks like I meant to speak with logic
But hon', the carnal always gets in the way
Well, well, this fire was more funner than proper grammar anyway
[Chorus]
I say what I mean, but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out today
I say what I mean, but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out
[Bridge]
Then you get to the part where your heart just wants to die
Then you get to the part where your heart screams, it just sighs
Then you get to the part where your heart knows it's a crime
So it flies like a bird, it's heard, it's heard, it's heard the word
[Chorus]
I say what I mean, but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out today
I say what I mean, but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out
I say what I mean, but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out today
I say what I mean, but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out
I say what I mean, but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out today
[Outro]
Today, today, today, today
Well, well, it's fine out
Well, well, what do I say?
Looks like what goes around, comes around
And everyone will have their final say
Sometime, someday
Looks like I only love God when the sun shines my way
Looks like I'm into divinity only when I can see its sweet, sweet rays
[Chorus]
I say what I mean, but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out today
I say what I mean, but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out
[Verse 2]
Well, well, what do I say?
I've never seen a bad day look quite this way
And well, well, what do I do
When all of my thoughts run right back to you?
Looks like I meant to speak with logic
But hon', the carnal always gets in the way
Well, well, this fire was more funner than proper grammar anyway
[Chorus]
I say what I mean, but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out today
I say what I mean, but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out
[Bridge]
Then you get to the part where your heart just wants to die
Then you get to the part where your heart screams, it just sighs

I say what I mean, but I don't mean what I say

I say what I mean, but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out
I say what I mean, but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out today
I say what I mean, but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out
I say what I mean, but I don't mean what I say
Well, well, it's fine out today
[Outro]
Today, today, today, today
Well, well, it's fine out
