[Intro] | | | 2x [Chorus] 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? [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Did you say such a thing? Why would you say such a thing? Word in the papers you were talking smack about me Did you say such a thing? [Verse 2] 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? [Instrumental] | | | [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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? [Solo] | | | 2x | | | | [Instrumental] | | | [Bridge] I guess I’ll see you tomorrow Unless you’d be gone Nеver too soon for me You got your bird seed all wrong [Chorus] 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? 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 [Solo] | | | | [Outro] Why would you say such a thing?

La chanson évoque un sentiment de trahison et de médisance. L'interlocuteur s'interroge sur les propos négatifs qu'une personne a tenus à son sujet, se sentant blessé par des rumeurs qui circulent. Malgré une certaine résignation, il exprime sa surprise et sa colère face à ces accusations, soulignant que les paroles blessantes peuvent avoir un impact bien plus grand que ce que l'on pourrait imaginer. Ce morceau semble aussi aborder la difficulté de faire confiance aux autres dans un monde où les secrets ne restent souvent pas cachés. Il souligne l'idée que, même si on essaie de garder des informations privées, il est difficile de contrôler ce qui finit par se répandre. L'allusion à la bienveillance divine en fin de chanson ajoute une dimension de justice morale, où finalement, tout se sait.
