They say, I say

Letra

Sometimes people say things That aren’t so kind, And the perfect little comeback Can be hard to find. You don’t have to be mean, You don’t have to hide, Stand tall, stay cool, Let the words bounce by! A little bit cheeky, A little bit smart, Here are some comebacks To keep in your heart! [CHORUS] They say… HEY! I say… OKAY! I don’t let their words Ruin my day! Stand tall, stay cool, Know what to say, Bounce those comments Right back their way! They say… THIS! I say… THAT! Quick little comeback, Then I bounce right back! ⸻ [VERSE 1] They say: “Nobody cares!” I say: “You seem pretty interested!” They say: “Everyone thinks you’re annoying!” I say: “That’s okay, I’m not here to impress everyone!” They say: “Your drawing is ugly!” I say: “Good thing I like it!” They say: “You’re embarrassing!” I say: “Just keeping life interesting!” [CHORUS] They say… HEY! I say… OKAY! I don’t let their words Ruin my day! Stand tall, stay cool, Know what to say, Bounce those comments Right back their way! ⸻ [VERSE 2] They say: “Why do you dress like that?” I say: “Well, I have to wear something!” They say: “You’re weird!” I say: “I prefer to call it a special talent!” They say: “Nobody likes you!” I say: “Wow! You interviewed everybody?” They say: “Oh my gosh, you can’t even do a cartwheel!” I say: “Good thing I’ve got plenty of other talents!” [BREAK] Ooh, they threw a comment, But I didn’t let it stick. No arguing, no getting mean, Just calm, confident and quick! ⸻ [VERSE 3] They say: “You can’t play with us!” I say: “Okay, I’ll find something else to do!” They say: “You’re not very good at that!” I say: “YET!” [BIG FINAL CHORUS] They say… HEY! I say… OKAY! I don’t let their words Ruin my day! Stand tall, stay cool, Know what to say, Their words don’t get To get in my way! A little bit cheeky, A little bit smart, I know who I am, And I know my heart! They say… THIS! I say… THAT! Quick little comeback… AND I BOUNCE RIGHT BACK! [Spoken ending] Stand tall. Stay cool. You’ve got this
