I've been up all night and the night before my teeth are dirty my eyes are sore
There was good time had by all accounts we've been drinking to you in tall amounts I guess we had a little trouble in the hotel bar
Some hometown bubba went a little too far
He said he don't like Catholics he don't like Jews
He don't like me and he don't like you
Say you love me say you need me say you want me don't disappoint me
Say it say it say it say it
I've got ten good years left in my legs some day baby I won't have to beg
The first thing to go is not your mind you have known that for a long long time
You've got the Irish eyes and the Irish lips from your head down to your fingertips
Poetry in your kiss and your hand poetry anywhere that you stand
Come on and say you love me say you need me say you want me don't disappoint me Say it say it say it say it
Speak your mind darlin' state your case baby
Lay it on the line sugar cut to the chase maybe
Say it in your own words don't be proud
If it's something that you want to get heard
You've got to say it to me right out loud
Say it say it say it say it
