You say it wouldn't work
It wouldn't take
It wouldn't do any good
It wouldn't change a thing
And I being I
Can't say much to deny it
but I'm stuck with an urge
to only have tried it
You say it wouldn't do
It wouldn't shake
It wouldn't make any waves
It wouldn't be no use
And you being you
You know sure how to phrase it
And I being I
I just have to embrace it
Don't I

You say it wouldn't breathe
It wouldn't move
It wouldn't stay in the groove
It wouldn't stand a chance
You say it wouldn't wash
It wouldn't wear
It wouldn't go anywhere
It wouldn't do it for you
And I being I
Can't say much to deny it
but I'm stuck with an urge
to only have tried it
You say it wouldn't float
It wouldn't stick
It would sink like a brick
in a bottomless pit
In a bottomless pit

And you being you
You know sure how to phrase it
And I being I
I just have to embrace it
You say it wouldn't breathe
It wouldn't move
It wouldn't stay in the groove
It wouldn't stand a chance
At all
